This was her previous daycare. Right after this occurred she was whisked away to Brevard.
According to what I understand, they can't allow hear-say, except if the person who spoke it, is no longer available, such as a murder victim. Because the defense is given the right to cross exam their accuser.
I think because of her age, the judge, (not sure, jmho), is determining CY under that sort of rule, because of her age at the time of the murder. But he's allowing it under the 'excited utterence' sort of rule, because it was given within a week of the crime. He said something about consideration had to be given as to how long had elapsed, and he felt this fits under that type of rule.
JMHO, and I could be wrong! grityguy is the legal mind!

Thanks for that information. But, I was wondering who this child has been living with since her mother's death. Has she been with her father, or relatives? tia
