Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant's right to confront witness A.Y. was violated
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
