Defendant’s first assignment of error is set out in the record as follows:
1. Did the trial court commit error in allowing, over the objections of the Defendant, the State’s witness, Dorothy Phillips Bryan to identify a photograph of some person in a photo line-up where the witness has no present recall of the photograph other than by identification by number on said photographic line-up.
This assignment of error purports to be based on Exception No. 1 noted in the record where the trial judge after voir dire examination of the victim denies the motion “for reasons stated. . . .” The voir dire examination of the victim was ostensibly for the purpose of determining whether her out-of-court identification of defendant from a photographic line-up could be admitted at trial. The ruling of the court seemed to indicate that the court would allow the State to introduce evidence at trial that the victim had picked out defendant’s photograph as being the photograph of the perpetrator of the crime charged.
At trial, the victim was unable to remember anything with respect to picking out defendant’s photograph. Although she was led repeatedly by the State’s attorney, she never identified any of the photographs as being one of defendant nor did she identify defendant as being perpetrator of the crime. Her testimony was sufficient, however, to show a crime had been committed, and coupled with the testimony of her daughter and the police officers, the evidence was sufficient to raise an inference that defendant was the perpetrator of the crime. The exception upon *260which defendant’s first assignment of error is based does not support the argument in his brief. Assuming arguendo, however, that the court erred in denying defendant’s motion in regard to the photographic line-up, and in even allowing the State to examine the victim regarding it, such error was in no way prejudicial to defendant inasmuch as the victim never connected defendant to any photograph.
Defendant’s second assignment of error is set out in the record as follows:
2. Did the trial court commit error in allowing, over the objections of the Defendant, the State’s witness Joseph M. Ludas to identify the Defendant’s fingerprints as those of the Defendant taken from the vehicle of the victim, when said comparison of the fingerprints were made the day of the trial of the Defendant pursuant to search warrant issued on the date of trial and after the commencement of the trial, and without notice to the Defendant.
This assignment of error appears to be based on an exception to the trial court’s overruling of defendant’s objection at trial to admission of evidence regarding comparison of defendant’s fingerprints to latent fingerprints taken from the automobile of the victim immediately after the crime. Defendant argues that such evidence should not have been admitted because he was surprised when his fingerprints were taken for comparison purposes on the day the trial commenced. Defendant cites no authority in support of his argument. The State obtained a search warrant for taking defendant’s fingerprints before trial, and the fingerprints were taken while defendant was in custody. We hold the trial court did not err in allowing the fingerprint expert to testify and compare defendant’s fingerprints with those latent fingerprints lifted from the victim’s automobile. This assignment of error has no merit.
In defendant’s final two assignments of error, he argues the trial court erred by allowing testimony of the victim’s daughter and a police detective about what the victim said happened. Defendant contends this testimony was inadmissible hearsay under the Rules of Evidence. Although the State’s attorney argued at trial that several exceptions to the hearsay rule would allow the testimony to be admitted, the trial court apparently admitted it under the “excited utterance” exception, G.S. 8C-1, Rule 803(2). *261Even if such a ruling were error, defendant was not unduly prejudiced since the testimony was admissible as corroborative of the victim’s testimony. Corroborative evidence is supplementary evidence used to strengthen or confirm evidence already given. State v. Burns, 307 N.C. 224, 297 S.E. 2d 384 (1982). It is not necessary that the evidence tend to prove the precise facts brought out in a witness’ testimony before it can be deemed corroborative of such testimony and therefore admissible. Id. Further, defendant had an affirmative duty to point out to the trial court any objectionable part which did not corroborate prior testimony, and he did not do so. State v. Harris, 46 N.C. App. 284, 264 S.E. 2d 790 (1980). Indeed, defendant at trial was unable to state to the trial judge any basis for his objection to the testimony. For these reasons, we hold the trial court did not err in allowing the testimony.
Defendant has not challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction of larceny from the person. We hold defendant had a fair trial, free from prejudicial error.
No error.
Judges Wells and COZORT concur.
