During a trial, a key witness for the prosecution testified remotely via video conferencing. The defendant objected, arguing that the testimony denied their legal right. Which principle protects a defendant's ability to face testimonial evidence directly?
The correct answer is grounded in the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause, which ensures that defendants have the opportunity to face and cross-examine witnesses testifying against them. Remote testimony may violate this principle unless it is shown to meet strict legal standards, such as necessity and reliability. Other answers may describe related concepts but fail to address the specific concern of confronting witnesses.
