State v. Bache
Washington Court of Appeals
146 Wn. App. 897 (2008)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Bache (defendant) was charged with a crime perpetrated against a child at a park. At trial, the prosecution (plaintiff) sought to introduce certain statements that the child made to her mother upon returning from the park. The child’s mother testified that when the child made the statements, she was fidgety and teary and generally appeared shaken. Bache objected to the statements as impermissible hearsay. The trial court overruled the objection and admitted the statements under the excited-utterance exception to the hearsay rule. Bache was convicted, and he appealed.
