State v. Carlson

An officer questioned the defendant, without advising him of his rights, about needle marks on his arms; his wife interjected, calling him a liar and saying he got the marks from shooting up in the bathroom, and the defendant hung his head and shook it back and forth. He was convicted of drug possession and endangering a minor, and challenged the admissibility of his wife's statement and his own reaction as hearsay.

Whether the officer's testimony relaying the wife's statement and the defendant's head-shaking constitutes inadmissible hearsay not within any exception.
