Description
Defendant, on trial for Murder in the Second Degree and related charges, moved in limine for an order excluding at trial a statement made by the shooting victim to the first officer who arrived at the scene. The victim, having died as a result of the inflicted gun shot wound, was unavailable to testify at trial. Defendant argued that the statement was hearsay and that its admission at trial would violate his Sixth Amendment right to confront the witness against him. The Peoples position was that the statement constituted an "excited utterance" exception to the hearsay rule and that its admission was not violative of the Sixth Amendment.
