People v. Gonzalez
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene Silverman, J.),
The court properly permitted a police officer to testify to two statements made by the complainant immediately after the crime. The court properly found that both statements were excited utterances, since they were made while the complainant was still under the influence of the stress caused by his violent confrontation with defendant (see, People v Edwards, 47 NY2d 493, 497). Concur — Ellerin, J. P., Wallach, Lerner and Saxe, JJ.
