The following excerpt is from Walters v. McCormick, 76 F.3d 390 (9th Cir. 1996):
As a result of his decision, the jury heard K.C. testify on videotape and she was subjected to cross-examination. This is not a case where only a child's hearsay was before the jury. Cf. Webb v. Lewis, 44 F.2d 1387 (9th Cir.1994). The jury had the opportunity to listen to her evasions and contradictions and to determine for itself her credibility.
