Practice question

- The special conditional-examination safeguards cannot be replaced by that private label
- Every private statement is a Section15 examination
- Unavailability abolishes every confrontation safeguard
- The accused must accept any document without objection
- No statement of an unavailable witness can ever be relevant under any rule
