In Latin, res gestae means "things done"; in English, it refers especially to the facts that form the environment of a litigated issue and are admissible in evidence. Res gestae refers specifically to the exception or set of exceptions to the hearsay rule that permits the admission of hearsay evidence REGARDING EXCITED UTTERANCES or DECLARATIONS RELATING TO mental, emotional, or bodily states or SENSE IMPRESSIONS of a witness or participant.

In legal terms, excited utterances—"statements concerning a STARTLING EVENT expressed by a person under stress caused by the EVENT"—are exceptions to the NO-HEARSAY-RULE; under the excited utterance exception fall SPONTANEOUS DECLARATIONS—"excited utterances made without time for fabrication."

Может кто-то толково, грамотно, в стиле V. объяснить/перевести/проиллюстрировать?
Заранее спасибо!

Au revoir, Monsieur : )
