ANONYMOUS 911 CALL DID NOT VIOLATE DEFENDANT’S RIGHT OF CONFRONTATION BECAUSE THE INFORMATION WAS NONTESTIMONIAL IN THAT IT DID NOT IDENTIFY THE DEFENDANT BUT MERELY ALERTED THE POLICE TO A BURGLARY IN PROGRESS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department noted that the anonymous 911 was properly admitted into evidence, in part, because the call was nontestimonial:

We agree with the Supreme Court’s determination to admit into evidence at the trial a recording of a 911 emergency telephone call made by an unidentified caller. The recording was admissible under the present sense impression exception to the hearsay rule  … . Moreover, the admission of the recording did not violate the defendant’s right of confrontation. Since the primary purpose of the statements by the unidentified caller was to obtain an emergency response to a burglary in progress, the statements were not testimonial in nature … . People v Torres, 2018 NY Slip Op 08337, Second Dept 12-5-18
