Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Before Julie Jensen died, she told a police officer acquaintance that she was not suicidal and that if she died, the police should look at her husband, Mark Jensen, as a suspect. The Wisconsin Supreme Court held that these statements were testimonial hearsay whose admission violated Jensen’s confrontation rights at his trial for killing Julie. The questions presented are: 1. Can a person’s statement expressing fear about a possible future crime be testimonial under the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause? 2. When a person reports ongoing psychological domestic abuse and expresses fear about future physical harm, is the person’s statement aimed at ending an ongoing emergency such that it is non-testimonial? i
