Recordings of Physical Objects

Laying Foundations and Meeting Objections, Section 6

De: Deanne Siemer

Narrado por: David Marantz

In evidentiary terms, the next best thing to seeing the object or the scene itself, or hearing a witness who was at the scene is a recording of some kind that accurately reproduces the "real thing". The authenticity or trustworthiness of many of these exhibits must be established under Federal Rule 901(b)(9) or the state equivalent that applies to processes or systems. The output from equipment can be qualified by testimony that the process or system produces an accurate result. This book explains how to put in this foundation and to defend it against objections.

The examples given are amazing for lawyers needing to improve on trial evidence.

These books are the perfect companion for car rides between court visits. The information is relevant and well thought out. I will be using many of these examples and processes taught in the future.
