The following excerpt is from People v. Mahmood, F066162 (Cal. App. 2014):
That said, the right of confrontation is not absolute. In the exercise of this right, the accused and the state must each comply with rules of procedure and evidence intended to assure that the jury's ultimate determination is fair and reliable. (People v. Ardoin, supra, 196 Cal.App.4th at p. 118.) A proper application of rules of evidence does not impermissibly infringe on a defendant's due process rights. (Id. at pp. 119, 122.)
