On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 17, 2008 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED, limited to the issues: (1) whether the statements made by the complainant to Stacy Morgan on or about May 4, 2006 were "shown to have been spontaneous and without indication of manufacture" within the meaning of MRE 803A(2), and (2) whether it was more probable than not that any error in this regard was outcome determinative. See People v. Lukity, 460 Mich. 484, 495-496, 596 N.W.2d 607 (1999).
