    1. Relevance
      1. General Principles of Relevance
        1. 401-Test for relevant evidence

          Anotações:

          • Is the evidence relevant?Evidence is relevant if it tends to make a fact of consequence more probable or less probable that it will be without the evidence. Thus, it needs to be probative (tendency to make something more or less probable) and material (substnative)
          1. 402- All relevant evidence is admissible if prohibited by: Constitution, other FRE, or SCOTUS ruling. Irrelevant evidence not admissable

            Anotações:

            • Is the relevant evidence prohibited by other law such as Constitution, other FRE, or SCOTUS ruling?
            1. 403-Relevant evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweight by the danger of unfair prejudice

              Anotações:

              • Is the probative value of the evidence substantially outweighted by the danger of unfair prejudice?All evidence in inherently prejudicial. However, if relevant evidence "inflames the passion of the jury" as to lead them not to think objectively but instead base their decision on their emotion or make the jury waste time, delay, confusion, misleading or tends to distract the jury from the proper issues. This test favors admission. for close calls the curt can compromise meaning order a limiting intruction on the evidence. unfair prejudice: an undue tendency to suggest decisions on improper basis confronting issues:tends to distract the jury from the proper issues Misleading the jury: possibility that the jury might attach undue weight to the evidence. e.g. poligraph evidence, government reports. Undue delay: unreasonable delay.  
              1. Rule 104- Preliminary questions

                Anotações:

                • A) in general the court must decide any preliminary question about wether a witness is qualified, a privilage exist, or evidence is admissable. the court in so deciding is not bound by the rules except on the issue of privilage. B) For relevance of evidence that depens on a fact (that needs to be proven to be true) proof must be introduced sufficient to support that the fact does exist. evidence may be intorduced on the condition that is proven later. Admissability of evidence is subject to the preponderance of evidence (huddleston- 51%) standard.
              2. Specialized Relevance Rules
                1. 407- Evidence of subsequent remedial measures is prohibited

                  Anotações:

                  • Is poof of subsequent remedies being offer? FRE prohibits subsequent remedial evidence from being offer to prove negligence, culpable conduct; defect of a product or its design, or need for warning. Except: "other purposes" such as impeachment, or to prove ownership, control, feasability (if disputed) <whether there was a better alterntive, only if diputed.> Policy: remedial measures is usually weak evidence of negligence. futheremore, the law wants to encourage remedies
                  1. 408- Compromise and Offers of Negotiation are prohibited

                    Anotações:

                    • Is the evidence sought proof of compromise or offer of negotiation? If so, it is prohibited. However if it is to prove other things such as witness bias, lack of undue delay or obstruction of criminal investigation, then is admisable.
                    1. 409- Evidence of Medical Expenses

                      Anotações:

                      • Is the evidence of medical expenses, hospital payment ocationed by the injury or similar expenses e.g. ambulance services,being offered to prove liability of the injury?If so is inaddmisible. Policy: we don't want to discourage people from assisting others in paying for medical expenses.However, incidental statements, conduct accopmpanying payment or offer is not protected.
                      1. 410- Pleas, Plea discussions, related statements

                        Anotações:

                        • Is the evidence from a plea being used to prove culpability?If so, that is prohibited. plea regarding pleas after they've been witdrawn; nolo contendered plea, statememnt to prosecuring athorities if it didnt reuslt in a plea. However, they will be allowed if:a) statement from the same plea discussion is intorduced and fairness requires b) in criminal proceeding for perjury or false statement , if under oath, on the record and with counsel present.

                        1. 411- Evidence of Liability insurance is not admissable

                          Anotações:

                          • Liability Insurance is not admissable to prove that a person acted negligently or wrongfully. The policy behind this is that being insured or not has litle bearing on the degree of care someone exercises, and such information is highly prejudicial. Exception:To prove bias, proof of agency, ownership, control or bias, establish why a safety inspection was made or "other causes". All exceptions must be scrutinized under the 403 balancing test. Policy: It aims to avoid bias against insurance policies w/ "deep pockets".

                                                Anotações:

                                                • Either party may offer evidence of a witness's character for truthfullness. the opponent may then rebut the evidence of thr witness character for truthfulness. in either event the must take in the form of opinion or reputation. On cross examination a party may ask a witness about specific instances of the conduct of a witness to attack or support the witness character fro truthfulness. here permitted inference is that the person's past lies  are evidence of her general bad character for truthfulness and that , acting in comformity with that character trait , she is lying now. The big idea of 608(b) is that it bars against extrinsic evidence and applies only to evidence offered

                                                              Anotações:

                                                              • Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another person concerning some event, condition, or thing of which the first person had no direct experience nor can it be adequately substantiated.[1] When submitted as evidence, such statements are called hearsay evidence. As a legal term, "hearsay" can also have the narrower meaning of the use of such information as evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Such use of "hearsay evidence" in court is generally not allowed. This prohibition is called the hearsay rule. For example, a witness says "Susan told me Tom was in town" as the witness's evidence to the fact that Tom was in town. Since the witness does not offer in this statement the personal knowledge of the fact, this witness statement would be hearsay evidence to the fact that Tom was in town, and not admissible. Only when Susan testifies herself in the current judicial proceeding that she saw Tom in town, that Susan's testimony becomes admissible evidence to the fact that Tom was in town. However, a witness statement "Susan told me Tom was in town" can be admissible as evidence in the case against Susan when she is accused of spreading defamatory rumors about Tom, because now the witness has personal knowledge of the fact that Susan said (i.e., pronounced the defamatory words) "Tom was in town" in the presence of the witness and it is an opposing party’s statement that constitutes a verbal act.[2][3] Double hearsay is when a hearsay statement offered as evidence contains another hearsay statement. For example, a witness wants to testify that: "a very reliable man informed me that Wools-Sampson told him". The statements of the very reliable man and Wools-Sampson are both hearsay submissions on the part of the witness, and the second hearsay (the statement of Wools-Sampson) depends on the first (the statement of the very reliable man). In a court, both layers of hearsay must be found separately admissible. In this example, the first hearsay also comes from ananonymous source and the admissibility of an anonymous statement requires additional legal burden of proof. Many jurisdictions that generally disallow hearsay evidence in courts permit the more widespread use of hearsay in non-judicial hearings. Now, direct witness testimony is allowed and is presumed to be true because of the 3 hurdles or filters: the oath, demeanor evidence (jurors perception whether someone is lying or not) and cross-examination.
