Скачать или смотреть The Confrontation Clause in Military Domestic Violence Cases: Rights, Limits, and Realities

Washington D.C.-based military defense attorney David O'Dea explains how the Confrontation Clause—the right to face your accuser—shapes the prosecution and defense of domestic violence cases in the armed forces. This video breaks down why the rule is simple in theory but complex in practice, especially when cases hinge on statements made outside the courtroom.
In this video, we cover:
• What the Confrontation Clause guarantees for service members
• Why domestic violence cases often push the rule to its limits
• The difference between testimonial and non-testimonial statements
• The narrow exceptions to the rule—and why they matter

The Confrontation Clause ensures that convictions rest on live, tested evidence—not just paperwork and memory. In military domestic violence cases, this means balancing accountability, safety, and fairness in a system built on discipline and constitutional rights.
