STATE v. WEST (2025)

Rehearing granted; writ granted in part; remanded. We vacate our previously issued per curiam. We find that the court of appeal erred to the extent it applied a per se rule of admissibility for autopsy reports. See Smith v. Arizona, 602 U.S. 779, 803, 144 S.Ct. 1785, 1802, 219 L.Ed.2d 420 (2024). We grant the application in part and remand to the court of appeal to reconsider defendant's confrontation clause claim in light of Smith v. Arizona.
