Criminal Law: Resisting Arrest – Sufficiency Of Evidence – Hearsay
Stephanie Maniscalco//February 10, 2011//
Where the record showed that an officer did testify that he informed a defendant that he was under arrest and that the defendant then ran into a road causing a driver to stop abruptly, there was sufficient evidence to show that the defendant resisted arrest, and the admission of an officer’s testimony was not plain error as inadmissible hearsay since it was cumulative.
Judgment is affirmed.
