Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the defendant's right to confront witness A.Y. was violated
Decisione estratta
No violation: the defense had not timely requested the witness's hearing, the conviction did not rest solely on that witness, and the cantonal courts scrutinized the statements carefully.
Motivazione estratta
An accused must act in a timely and adequate manner to exercise confrontation rights; the absence of a request in first instance or appeal bars the complaint. In any event, the evidence formed a converging body of proof, not a sole reliance on A.Y.
