Description
¶ 1. Defendant Elsie Oscarson appeals from her conviction of two counts of aggravated sexual assault against two of her children. She argues that the trial court erred in (1) admitting hearsay testimony of one of the putative child victims even though that child was not "available to testify in court" as required by Vermont's child hearsay statute, V.R.E. 804a(a)(3); (2) admitting evidence concerning defendant's alleged abuse of a child who was not a putative victim of the charged crimes; and (3) allowing improper expert witness testimony. We reverse the conviction for the child who was not available to testify, but affirm the other conviction.
