questions recently about what qualifies under <EM>Crawford </EM>as "available"
when a victim has a "loss of memory" on the stand or "refuses" to testify
about the incident. I sent Appellate an email and these are the cases
they referenced which should be helpful to you if this issue comes up
in trial. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

case that I always cite is <EM><I><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">State v.
Sullivan</SPAN></I></EM>, 217 Or App 208 (2007) (fact that cross-examination was
not <EM><I><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">effective</SPAN></I></EM> does not
mean that defendant lacked that opportunity; victim's lack of memory did not
mean that defendant was denied opportunity for cross-examination). There's
also (slightly more recently) <EM><I><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">State v.
Bumgarner</SPAN></I></EM>, 219 Or App 617 (2008) (holding the same thing).
