Description
In Topping v. People, 764 P.2d 369 (Colo. App. 1988), the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order permitting a prosecution witness to testify at trial by telephone against the petitioner, Stanley Charles Topping, and affirmed Topping's convictions of first degree sexual assault, first degree burglary and felony menacing. We granted Topping's petition for certiorari review to consider whether the trial court's order permitting telephonic testimony violated Topping's rights of confrontation under the sixth and fourteenth amendments to the United States Constitution and article II, section 16, of the Colorado Constitution. We conclude that the trial court erred in permitting such testimony, but that the error was harmless in this case. We therefore affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
