- US v. Annunziato (2d Cir 1961)
- A is charged with taking bribes; he tells Harry the contractor that if he wants the job done, he has to give him some money; H died before trial; H’s son testified that his dad had said that A called and requested some money.
- issue: can H’s son’s statement be used to prove that A made that call? it’s backward-looking (used to prove something that happened in the past).
- holding: statement admitted.
- it’s in the immediate past.
- future action closely related to the retrospective component – H was doing something right then based on the immediate past event; the future is so closely related by design to the past that we’re going to let it all in, won’t draw a line b/t the two.
