   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2356
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. District court did not err in admitting, as 
   an excited utterance under Rule 803(2), statements the victim gave police 
   thirty minutes after the incident; the lapse of time between the incident 
   and the statements was not so long as to render them inadmissible, and the 
   other factors - the victim's state of distress, the fact that the 
   statements were made in response to a general inquiry and the nature of 
   the incident - all established that the statements bore a guarantee of 
   trustworthiness and were not subject to reflection and deliberation.
