"But he said an ex partner of the man had TESTIFIED BY TELEPHONE..."
Who was the person on the phone? Can we be sure it was the alledged ex-partner? In the U.S., do we allow 'telephonic testimony' in even our smallest courts, such as small claims and traffic? But they allow this in a rape case in Europe? Maybe our justice system isn't so bad.
