Text: The trial court should have determined the admissibility of the challenged hearsay statements under the rules of evidence instead of under A.R.S. § 13-1416. However, any error was harmless, because the statements were admissible under Rules 803(4), 803(24), and 804(b)(5). Admitting the hearsay statements did not violate the confrontation clause because Nicole's testimony was unavailable and the statements were sufficiently reliable. Our search of the record revealed no fundamental errors. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); A.R.S. § 13-4035(B). Robinson's convictions and sentences are affirmed. The court of appeals' opinion is affirmed as modified. GORDON, C.J., and CAMERON and HOLOHAN, JJ., concur. HAYS, J., participated in the determination of this matter but retired prior to the filing of this opinion. MOELLER, J., did not participate in the determination of this matter.
