Description
At a criminal trial, although an answer of a prosecution witness was unresponsive hearsay, it was harmless in view of testimony of another witness. [399] At the trial of indictments for murder, where the theory of the Commonwealth was that two prostitutes and the two defendants joined in a common enterprise to kill members of a gang, the admission of certain evidence showing misconduct by the defendants not related to the issues in the case was held not to be error where it appeared that some of the evidence tended to establish the relations of the parties to the common enterprise, that some of the evidence showed settled ill will and hatred toward the gang and tended to establish a motive for the murder, that, although certain evidence was hearsay, it was merely cumulative and its admission was not prejudicial, and that evidence of the attempted shooting of one of the gang four days after the murder in question tended to confirm the continuing common enterprise, the ill will and the understanding participation of one of the defendants.
