1. “The doctrine of res gestae is largely based upon spontaneous statements made at the time of an accident or occurrence or transaction, usually by one of the parties thereto.... [Moster v. Bower (1972), 153 Ind.App. 158, 169 , 286 N.E. 2d 418, 424 .] The reason such statements are allowed into evidence is that they form a part of the act, transaction or event, spontaneously arising from it, without premeditation. The admission of such evidence lies within the trial court's discretion.”
