Anonymous 911 Call Admitted Under Excited Utterance and Present Sense Impression Hearsay Exceptions

The Second Department determined a 911 recording of an anonymous caller was admissible under the excited utterance and present sense impression exceptions to the hearsay rule and the admission of the recording did not violate defendant’s right to confrontation:

The recording satisfied the excited utterance exception to the hearsay rule, since it evidenced that the caller was under the influence of the excitement of the incident and lacked the reflective capacity essential for fabrication…. Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the recording was also properly admissible as a present sense impression, since the caller’s statements were sufficiently contemporaneous … and were corroborated by the evidence adduced at trial…. Additionally, the admission of the recording did not violate the defendant’s right to confrontation. The call was nontestimonial in nature, since its primary purpose was to obtain an emergency response to the shooting….  People v Dockery, 2013 NY Slip Op 04621, 2nd Dept, 6-19-13
