Allegan CC: 07-015359-FC
RONALD CARL ROSE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 1, 2010
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
address whether the use of a screen to shield a child complainant from the defendant
during testimony violates the Confrontation Clause or prejudices the defendant because it
impinges on the presumption of innocence.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan and the Criminal Defense
Attorneys of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
