A pedestrian sued a driver for injuries suffered in a hit-and-run accident. At trial, the pedestrian called a witness who testified that he saw the accident and that as the car sped off he accurately dictated the license number into his properly operating pocket dictating machine. The witness has stated that he no longer remembers the number. May the tape recording be played

Respuesta :

Yes, the tape recording is played as a present sense impression and as a recorded recollection.

What is considered a present sense impression?

A remark that depicts an event as it is happening or right after it has happened is referred to as a current sense impression under the Federal Rules of Evidence. As an exemption to the hearsay rule, a statement that meets the criteria for a current sense impression may be admitted.

What is a past recollection recorded?

A recorded recollection is an exception to the hearsay rule in the law of evidence that permits witnesses to vouch for the veracity of a recording or documentation of their out-of-court statement based on their memory of the circumstances under which the statement was recorded or documented—even if the witness does not recall the events attested to in the statement. The witness only needs to be able to attest to having made the recording and writing an accurate statement at that time to suffice.
