Washington V. Sosa

William F. Sosa appeals his conviction of possession with intent to manufacture or deliver heroin. He claims that admitting a lab report into evidence under the CrR 6.13(b) hearsay exception without giving him a chance to confront the lab expert violated the confrontation clause. Specifically he alleges that: (1) the lab report was  per se unconstitutional; (2) the report fails to meet the confrontation clause test as a CrR 6.13(b) hearsay exception; (3) his counsel's failure to subpoena the lab expert under CrR 6.13(b) was a waiver of his constitutional confrontation right and denied him effective assistance of counsel.
