This blog is devoted to reporting and commenting on developments related to Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004). Crawford transformed the doctrine of the Confrontation Clause, but it left many open questions that are, and will continue to be, the subject of a great deal of litigation and academic commentary.

Petition in Rose denied
I hadn't seen the order list before, but now I have. The etition for certiorari that I filed in Rose was indeed denied.
So I guess that this is a conflict that will persist for a while longer; in some states, the Constitution is deemed to prevent child witnesses from testifying attrial from behind a screen, and in some states it isn't. Perhaps the Court thought the conflict was not yet deep enough, but it's impossible to know. I hope that befoer too long goes by they do take a case on this issue.
