Signin
A is incorrect. The defendant's statement that she was going to State B for the next three days is not a statement describing or explaining an event or condition, and it was not made while the defendant was perceiving that event or condition. It is thus not a present sense impression, it is a statement of then-existing state of mind.
C is incorrect. It misstates the standard for determining admissible hearsay statements. This answer is also incorrect because the statement is offered to show that the defendant had plans, not to show that the defendant followed through with those plans.
D is incorrect. The statement, although hearsay, falls under the then-existing state of mind exception to the hearsay rule.
