Courthouse Steps Decision: Samia v. United States

On June 22, 2023, the Supreme Court released its decision in Samia v. United States.

The Court held “the Confrontation Clause was not violated by the admission of a nontestifying codefendant’s confession that did not directly inculpate the defendant and was subject to a proper limiting instruction.”In this Post-Decision Courthouse Steps webinar, we will broke down and analyzed the Court’s decision.
