In most states, potential routes will include the medical treatment, excited utterance, prompt outcry, state of mind, present sense impression, and residual hearsay exceptions, as well as the possibility of prior consistent or inconsistent statements, forfeiture by wrongdoing, and other strategies. Whether preparing for suppression hearings or drafting proactive admissibility motions, prosecutors may benefit from the wealth of persuasive law articulated by other jurisdictions in this guide. Investigators and other members of the multidisciplinary team will also benefit from an enhanced understanding of law relevant to their daily work.en-USchild sexual abusecourtprosecutionforensic interviewhearsayArticle
