A recorded 911 call should be considered an exception to the hearsay rule because it is an “excited utterance.”

Okay.  I want to push this comment some.  Lets see what you think.

Two weeks prior to her death, a victim calls 911 to state that her boyfriend is trying to kill her.  The police arrive, sure enough, there are signs of physical abuse, and they yank him out of the house.

Is that 911 call admisable as evidence when she is killed two weeks later, and her boyfriend is the supsect?  My take is no.
