“was likely to have had a prejudicial impact upon the mind of the average juror, thereby contributing to the verdict.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Hardin v. State · Bonner v. State“The sum of the adults’ hearsay testimony and A.G.’s videotaped Patterson statement was much greater than the child’s live in-court testimony. The hearsay statements were not merely cumulative, because there is a substantial likelihood that the repetition of the hearsay through adult testimony unfairly and prejudicially created the impression that the adult witnesses were vouching for the credibility of the child. The evidence against Traver was a product of the accusations made by A.G. We must conclude that the admission of hearsay repeating those accusations was prejudicial error.”
