Questão jurídica principal
Whether police/questionnaire statements of customers were unusable for lack of confrontation rights
Decisão extraída
The confrontation-right objection failed because the statements were not shown to be decisive evidence, and the defendants had not timely sought appropriate confrontations.
Fundamentação extraída
The right to question witnesses is fundamental, but its strictest form applies only where the contested statements are sole or decisive evidence. Here the decisive issue was whether the company adequately informed customers about the commission structure and its effect on profits, which the court assessed mainly from business documents and other evidence.
