Statement made to police officer by wife within a few minutes after husband had left with their 19-month-old child was admissible under excited utterance exception to hearsay, and were nontestimonial because officer was addressing an ongoing emergency. Wife was still at the scene in a nervous, upset, and agitated condition, directly related to the event, and her child was absent. (LYTTON, concurring; WRIGHT, dissenting.)
