Did the introduction of unconfronted statements by Beverly Guenther violate McLaughlin's Confrontation Clause rights?

Scott McLaughlin was convicted of murder in the first degree and the rape of Beverly Guenther.

After the break up, Scott was convicted of burglarizing Beverly's apartment, although he claimed he was just trying to remove his belongings.
