Spontan tale Explanation: An excited utterance is one "made under stress of excitement caused by an external event, and not the product of studied reflection and possible fabrication." People v Johnson __ NY2d __, 2003 WL 22989706 (2003). The assumption is that a person under the influence of the excitement caused by an external startling event will lack the effective capacity essential for fabrication, and that any utterance will be spontaneous and trustworthy. |
