Description
1 Rubin Ards appeals from a judgment convicting him of substantial battery, felony bail jumping, and two misdemeanor counts of knowingly violating a domestic abuse injunction. The complaint alleged that Ards went to Stacy Dotsons home, in violation of a domestic abuse injunction, and beat her. At his jury trial, Dotson did not appear. To identify Ards as the attacker, the State instead relied on testimony from police officers who interviewed Dotson and heard her identify Ards. The first police interview occurred approximately two hours after the assault. The issues on appeal are whether the trial court properly allowed Dotsons statements to police into evidence as excited utterances, and whether the trial court properly determined that Ards forfeited his right to confront Dotson. Ards also contends that the trial court should have granted him a new trial on newly discovered evidence. We affirm.
