State v. Williams

William Jacob Williams (“Defendant”) appeals his convictions for first-degree statutory sodomy and first-degree child molestation. See §§ 566.062, 566.067.1 Defendant argues the trial court erred in admitting into evidence State’s Exhibit 1, a video recording of an interview of Victim at the Child Advocacy Center, because the admission of the exhibit violated his rights under the Confrontation Clause. We disagree and affirm.
