Description
This Court granted allowance of appeal in this matter to consider whether the redaction of a non-testifying co-defendants confession in a joint trial, which replaced any direct reference to the defendant with the words "the other man," when accompanied by an appropriate cautionary charge, was sufficient to protect the defendants Sixth Amendment confrontation clause rights under Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 88 S.Ct. 1620 (1968), and the United States Supreme Courts more recent decision in Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185, 118 S.Ct. 1151 (1998). For the reasons that follow, we hold that it was.
