U.S. v. Alvarado-Valdez - 5th Circuit
Unlike when a Confrontation Clause violation arises from the denial of
a defendant's right to impeach a witness for bias, when inadmissible hearsay testimony is introduced, the government
must show beyond a reasonable doubt that the tainted evidence did not
contribute to the conviction.
