Highlight

Even if a defendant objects to hearsay testimony about a child's out-of-court statement at a pre-trial hearing, the defendant's failure to object at trial limits review to determining whether the admission of that testimony into evidence constitutes obvious error affecting substantial rights.
To establish obvious error, a defendant must show error that is plain and affects substantial rights, and to affect substantial rights a plain error must have been prejudicial, or have affected the outcome of the proceeding.
Nonverbal conduct is a statement under the hearsay rules if the nonverbal conduct was intended as an assertion.
A declarant's out-of-court statement is not hearsay if the declarant testifies at trial and is subject to cross-examination concerning the statement, and the statement is consistent with the declarant's testimony and is offered to rebut an express or implied charge against the declarant of recent fabrication or improper influence or motive.
