McCord v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed McCord’s convictions, holding that the trial court properly admitted the victim’s statements because they were nontestimonial and fell within the present‑sense impression and excited‑utterance hearsay exceptions, and any Confrontation Clause error was harmless. The court applied an abuse‑of‑discretion standard and found the cumulative evidence overwhelming to support the verdicts.
