United States Ninth Circuit

Under 18 U.S.C. section 3509, setting the procedure by which an alleged child victim can testify, a television monitor projecting the defendant's image does not need to be in the child's direct field of vision. A California prior conviction did not qualify as a predicate offense for a two-strikes enhancement under 18 U.S.C. section 2241(c).
