PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. LARRY DUANE CURRINGTON, Defendant-Appellant.
UNPUBLISHED Saginaw Circuit Court
LC No. 14-040592-FC Before: MARKEY, P.J., and RONAYNE KRAUSE and BOONSTRA, JJ. RONAYNE KRAUSE, J. (concurring).
I concur with the majority in all respects but one. Because I agree that the challenged statement from Detective Scott was harmless irrespective of whether it was hearsay, I would simply presume that it was hearsay and decline to decide that issue. The majority includes a paragraph that begins with "Further, even if the challenged testimony were hearsay and thus admitted in error . . . " it did not affect "the outcome of the trial." Thus, I see no reason to make that decision with the limited facts in this case. In all other respects, I concur.
/s/ Amy Ronayne Krause
