1Opinion of the Court

ELLINGTON, Justice.

Following a bench trial, Clarence McCord was convicted of malice murder, feticide, and tampering with evidence in connection with the stabbing death of KeJuan Hall and her unborn child.1 On appeal, he contends that *124his convictions should be reversed because the trial court erred in admitting into evidence witness statements in violation of the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and Georgia's evidentiary rules concerning the admission of hearsay testimony. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
