State v. Ryan Buda

6-23-08 (A-4/5-07)

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the child’s statements to his mother and the DYFS worker were
properly admitted into evidence as “excited utterances” under N.J.R.E. 803(c)(2). The Child’s statements were not testimonial
and, hence, their admission at trial did not run afoul of the Confrontation Clause.
