Mary worked at a bank. Ned approached her teller's cage and gave her a demand note that said, "Go to the vault. Fill this sack with $20 bills. I've got a gun aimed at your head, so don't try anything heroic." Mary screamed. Ned shot her and ran out the door.

Can Mary's identification of Ned as the person who shot her be admitted at his trial for felony murder as a dying declaration?
