Facts
During a search of Mayfield’s apartment, the phone rang, and a police officer answered. An unidentified female asked to speak with Keith. Keith Long (D) had been charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. The officer said that Keith was busy and then the caller asked if Keith had any stuff and the officer asked what she meant, and she responded “a fifty.” The officer said yeah, and then the caller asked if Mike could come around and pick up the fifty, and the officer answered yes again. D’s counsel moved in limine to exclude the evidence as inadmissible hearsay. That motion was denied. The police officer testified to the conversation. D was convicted and appealed.
