United States Supreme Court
Kansas v. Ventris, 07-1356
The state supreme court's reversal of defendant's burglary conviction is reversed where the state obtained a confession from a confidential informant but defendant's statement to the informant, concededly elicited in violation of the Sixth Amendment, was admissible to impeach his inconsistent testimony at trial.
