P. v. Duke CA4/3
Appellant was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for orally copulating his granddaughter and his niece when they were four and three years old, respectively. At trial, the victims could not remember anything about the incident in question. Nonetheless, the prosecution was allowed to introduce incriminating statements the victims made to a social worker a few days after the incident took place. Appellant contends the admission of these statements violated his confrontation rights. He also asserts his sentence is cruel and unusual. We reject these claims and affirm the judgment.
