A homeowner returned home from work one day to find a robber in her living room. After a brief physical altercation, the homeowner ran to a bedroom, hid in a closet, and called 911 on her cell phone. Police officers arrived in less than two minutes and were able to apprehend the robber as he tried to run out the front door. Once they made sure he was locked in the police car, one of the officers went to speak with the homeowner about what had happened. She was still crying and shaking when the officer found her, and she said, "Thank you for catching him! He punched me in the head as I was running away!" The robber was charged with robbery and assault. Traumatized, the homeowner left the country and cannot be traced, despite the efforts of the prosecutor. The prosecutor intends to call the officer to testify as to the homeowner's statement. Should the court allow the officer's testimony?

“Congress will style no law concerning an founding of belief, or barring the free workout thereof; or shortening the liberty of language, or of the media; or the right of the individuals quietly to accumulate, and to appeal the administration for a compensation of complaints.” Twenty-seven of these, having been ratified by the requisite number of states (38, since 1959), are part of the Constitution. The first ten amendments were adopted and ratified simultaneously and are known collectively as the Bill of Rights.
