  1. “We agree with the state court that Black forfeited his confrontation right by a pattern of conduct that resulted in Link's fear which we find to be reasonable under the circumstances. The record is replete with Black's threats and attempts to intimidate against Link and others. Black had physically abused Link and threatened to kill her if she did not do what she was told. [ 651 F. 2d at 531 ]”
