Supreme Court of Arkansas
Arthur L. Hicks, Jr., Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Hart, J., Concurring
September 28, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 238
Summary
Justice Hart agreed that the judgment should be affirmed but concluded that the victim's statement was admissible under the medical-diagnosis-or-treatment hearsay exception rather than relying on the excited-utterance exception. She reasoned that the emergency medical technician reasonably needed information about additional injuries and that the victim's statement supplied medically relevant information without identifying a perpetrator.
