PER CURIAM:
Application for clarification is granted.
This court's order suppressing the prior testimony of Van Develde was based on the fact that the defendant did not have an opportunity and similar motive to develop the testimony at the prior hearing by cross-examination. As such, introduction of the deceased witness's prior statements would violate the Sixth Amendment's confrontation clause, as well as Louisiana Code of Evidence Rule 804(B)(1).
