  2. State v. West

    Upholding sufficiency of evidence identifying defendant as assailant based on victim's hearsay statement to police, ten minutes after incident, "that her boyfriend had punched her," where she was crying and bleeding, and appeared upset

    We conclude that complainant's excited utterance in context is sufficiently reliable to support defendant's identification as the perpetrator beyond a reasonable doubt. See Watkins v. State, 360 S.E.2d 47, 48 (Ga. Ct. App. 1987) (officer's testimony of complainant's report, medical technician's testimony of complainant's injuries, and testimony regarding disordered scene was sufficient to find defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt although complainant testified for defense and recanted her statements).
