Randy and Vonny were coconspirators involved in a drug distribution conspiracy. Randy was caught by police officers and was eager to make a deal that would allow him to remain on the street and act as an informant. Right before the investigation was about to end and Randy's role as an informant was about to be exposed, Randy gave a statement to police detailing his role in the conspiracy, and then he died.

At Vonny's trial, the state sought to introduce Randy's statement made to police before he died. On the basis of his Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause right, what objections, if any, can Vonny make to the admission of Randy's statement?

(Using IRAC, discuss the role of the Confrontation Clause)
