Pitts v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding statement that defendant was “wanted” for violating his parole was made to illustrate the danger of the situation, and the primary purpose of the call remained the prevention of immediate harm to the caller
• when the statement at issue is nontestimonial in nature, the state’s normal rules regarding the admission of hearsay apply
• trial court did not err in admitting 911 call made by victim when “the crime was still ongoing in her immediate presence” such that “her primary purpose remained the prevention of immediate harm to herself”
