“The United States Supreme Court has held that the confrontation clause is not violated by admitting a declarant’s out-of-court statements, as long as the declarant is testifying as a witness and subject to full and effective cross-examination.... Here, the victim testified at the trial and was subject to unbridled cross-examination. Therefore, the hearsay evidence admitted against [the defendant] concerning the victim’s statements under [the rule] did not violate the confrontation clause[.]”
