In re P.M. CA4/2
Appellant (minor), P.M., appeals from a juvenile court determination that he committed robbery in violation of Penal Code section 211. Minor contends that at the jurisdictional hearing (effectively a bench trial), the juvenile court erroneously admitted the unavailable victim’s hearsay statements to a police officer. We conclude that the hearsay statements were properly admitted as spontaneous statements made under the stress of excitement pursuant to Evidence Code section 1240, and that the admission of the hearsay statements did not violate minor’s right to confrontation. The judgment is affirmed.
