People v. Cortez

Defendant was convicted of first degree murder and claimed his sixth amendment right to confront witnesses was violated, by admission of witness' handwritten statement repudiating witness' earlier statement that he was the one who killed the victim. No violation of sixth amendment, as defense counsel's decision to stipulate to statement could be sound trial strategy. No error in admitting autopsy report without its author present to be cross-examined, as autopsy reports are considered business records.
