Luke Campbell Case In Trial!

Luke Cambell Evidence Lesson

Trial again on Monday before Judge Cooke, and on the eve of week two new counsel Richard Brodsky submits a tutorial on the difference between authenticity and admissible hearsay:

The issue is whether the two returns of service, in the forms of affidavits from a process server, are admissible.  In denying the Defendant’s objection to the admissibility of these documents as hearsay, the Court stated that they are self-­‐authenticating, and therefore admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 901.  Respectfully, this is a fundamental misconception of the purpose of Rule 901.

I feel like I'm back in my evidence class!
