 Crawford v. Washington: Confrontation Clause Forbids Admission of Testimonial Out-of-Court Statements Without Prior ...
[79] Of course, hearsay statements present the paradigmatic case of tension between the defendant's interest in confrontation through cross-examination and the government's interest in effective law enforcement through the presentation of evidence in criminal prosecutions, with the former demanding their exclusion and the latter arguing for their admission.
When hearsay known to be reliable (even without subjecting the declarant to cross-examination) is admitted at trial, "there is no material departure from the reason of the general rule."[81] After all, when a hearsay statement is reliable, cross-examination cannot magically reveal that it is unreliable.
If the answer is in the affirmative, then the declarant should be deemed to be a witness for Confrontation Clause purposes-because otherwise, she could effectively act as a witness yet escape confrontation.

 Constructive Confrontation
The constructive confrontation approach follows a medical model in which destructive conflict processes (but not conflicts themselves) are likened to diseases—pathological processes that adversely affect people, organizations, and societies as a whole.

So constructive confrontation is an ongoing process, not a one-time event plopped in the middle (or at the end) of a protracted conflict.
