Syllabus

Hearsay Evid.R. 801(C) Evid.R. 802 explanation of investigation harmless error manifest weight of the evidence. Although detective's testimony regarding what victim told him about his encounter with defendant likely went beyond what is permissible in describing the steps in an investigation, in light of other evidence presented, there was no reasonable possibility that the improper testimony contributed to defendant's convictions such that the admission of the testimony was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Defendant's convictions were not against the weight of the evidence.
