People of Michigan v. Tywon Deon Hamilton
People of Michigan v. Tywon Deon Hamilton
Opinion
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 6, 2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE those parts of the Court of Appeals judgment addressing whether the defendant preserved his challenge to the admissibility of hearsay testimony under MRE 803A on the ground that the child complainant's disclosure to the declarant was not the first corroborative statement and whether MRE 803A 's notice requirement was satisfied. Because the record establishes that defense counsel articulated a specific objection on hearsay grounds, the Court of Appeals erred in holding that the issue was unpreserved. We REMAND this case to that court for reconsideration of the hearsay issue under the standard for preserved evidentiary error, see
