Court of Appeals of Washington June 7, 1999, No. 40968-9-I (State v. Hirschfield)

Cox, J.

Richard Hirschfield appeals his conviction for one count of rape of a child in the first degree and one count of child molestation in the first degree. Because the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the child witness was “unavailable” and the State made a “good faith effort” to produce that witness to testify, the witness’ hearsay testimony was admissible.
