United States v. Donald James Brun, Jr.

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that statements were “unstructured” and “not the product of police interrogation” in determining they were excited utterances
• determining that a witness’s 911 call to report a fight that had escalated to an assault was an excited utterance
• determining that a 911 call made “under these circumstances” was nontestimonial
• noting that appellate courts review trial courts = rulings on the admissibility of hearsay evidence for an abuse of discretion but review Confrontation Clause objections to admission of evidence under Crawford de novo
• spontaneous utterances not testimonial because they are “emotional and spontaneous rather than deliberate and calculated”
