Most-quoted passages

“in order to dispense with confrontation in open court”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A prosecutor will often prefer to offer deposition testimony because the witness need not be secured for trial and need not be subject to the vicissitudes of cross examination before the jury.... [T]he jury and the judge never actually see the witness. The witness is not confronted in the courtroom situation. The immediacy of a living person is lost.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If we conclude that a federal constitutional trial error 2 occurred at petitioner's trial, we must ascertain whether the error 'had substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict' such that it resulted in actual prejudice.”
