focusing on reasonable expectation of the declarant that, under the circumstances, her words later could be used for prosecutorial purposes
finding rape victim’s statements to doctors not testimonial because “[a] rape victim is necessarily in need of medical attention” and an objective analysis suggests her goal in the emergency room is, likely, to receive treatment
adult victim’s statement to ER physician and nurse identifying rapist nontestimonial; procedure regarding rape kits should not categorically, nor under specific facts of case, render statements of rape victim, who was transported to hospital by law enforcment officer, testimonial
victim’s statement to ER doctor about being raped was admissible
adult sexual assault victim’s state‐ ment to nurse held nontestimonial when she described her in‐ juries and “[n]one of [her] statements related to the identity of her assailant nor to other details of the crime unrelated to medical treatment”
