Question Presented (from Petition)

Petitioner Cash contend that his constitutional rights was violated be
fore the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals due to the stated facts raised
beforethe court in his writ of certiorari stipulating applicable case-
laws, and in support of Cash arguments, in the court ruling in Crawford
V. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004).

Petitioner Cash contends that the appellate court for the Fifth Circuit
failed to render a decision on the two constitutional claims raised be-:
fore the court. Petitioner Cash willfully argued that his Due Process un
der the Fifth Amendment was violated during his jury trial proceedings,
and his Sixth Amendment rights under the Sixth Amendment was violated
under the confrontation clause. The evidence is-clear that officer Ductan's
testify about statements made by Lauren Danielle Davis, in regard to
her association with petitioner Cash, office Ductan consistently made
assertions toward petitioner Cash during jury trial proceedings, which re
sult in a direct violation of Cash constitutional rights under the Fifth
Amendment, and the hearsay rule by allowing officer Ductan to testify
about statements Ms Davis made during her interviwe with other police
officers, such statements was totally inconsistence with Ductan testimony
before the district court. Petitioner Cash argues that Respondent/Govern-
ment used Ms. Davis out of court statements to assert before the court

testimony that was flawed and misinterpreted and demonstrated prejudice
before the jurors .
