Out Of Court Hearsay
As discussed in class a simple definition of hearsay would be an out of court statement in which the declarant does not testify in an effort to prove the truth of the matter asserted. In other words if someone committed a crime and came to me and told me I would not be allowed to testify to that in court because it would be considered hearsay. There has to be a way to prove that the facts are the truth of the matter. The court defines hearsay as being a statement made out of court, which is offered in court as evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted. The hearsay rule was developed in order to prevent miscarriage of just justice in result of accepted statement of an untested and unsworn statements from and individual not present in

    Afte Court Case

    On a gloomy Saturday morning, a badly bruised and distraught Sally Richards stumbled into the doors of UC’s medical hospital, seeking assistance for the terrible incident that she experienced the night before. Standing in front of the triage desk, Sally explained to the hospital secretary how she was sexually assaulted and possibly raped by her ex-boyfriend the night before. Quickly, the hospital secretary called an expedient nurse from the back room and in a flash, Sally was suddenly brought to a private room. With Sally being instructed into the room, she noticed an individual standing across the medical room, who she later learned would be her advocate throughout her examination and during her court case. Throughout the duration of her stay, though distraught, Sally cooperated with the SANE nurses, especially with the physical evidence collection.…

    Xander Barden and Katelyn Lippa are the defendant’s (O’Malley’s Tavern and Patrick Gibbs) representatives they are recommending the Court present an outline verdict to the bartender, John Daniels and O’Malley’s Tavern. There is definite understanding and helpful information defined in the Indiana Dream Shop Act which contains useful knowledge. Mr. Edward Hard did not participate or take on any behavior or actions that provided proof of intoxication. Debora White, the Plaintiff is in search of compensation from the defendants, O’Malley’s Tavern and Patrick Gibbs with the theory that Mr. Patrick Gibbs had concrete awareness of Mr. Edward Hard’s consumption of alcohol. (I.C. 7.1-5-10-15.5, 1996) cites that Mr. Gibbs the defendant have actual knowledge of the person being intoxicated before damages are allowed to be awarded. Practical awareness does not persuade the hindrance nor does individual awareness. Indirect evidence doesn’t support practical awareness only actual knowledge. Individual awareness can sustain the intrusion whereas actual knowledge has to carry through and support the intrusion. Observable dealings with the recognizable events of intoxication are prejudiced according to the 7th Indiana State Circuit Court. In the Supreme Court statue stated prior to the year 1988 common law tolerated practical awareness for intrusions and caused a change in the law for this not to be supported.…

    Hearsay Meaning

    The word hearsay in matters of the law takes on a different and complicated definition compared to the use of the word in everyday language. In matters of the law, the definition of hearsay is rather technical, and is defined by the Federal Rules of Evidence as “a statement that (1) the declarant does not make while testifying at the current trial or hearing; and (2) a party offers in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement.” F.R.E 801 (c) (1) (2). In regard to the case in question, Mr. Cooper was tried and charged with the robbery of Ms. Aran’s jewelry box. At trial, the prosecution introduced four witnesses; the 911 operator who took Ms. Aran’s call, Detective Bandicoot,…

    Introducing Evidence

    In Ohio v. Roberts, the Court treated the question of when the Confrontatiion Clause prohibits the introduction of out of court statements against a criminal defendant. The Court created a reliability test and conditioned the admissibility of hearsay evidence on whether it fell under a “firmly rooted hearsay exception” or bears “particularized guarantees of trustworthiness”. Firmly rooted exceptions included excited utterances, statements concerning medical diagnoses, and co-conspirator statements. If the hearsay statement did not…

While there, I observed various criminal court cases, most which dealt with domestic violence and abuse. There was one particular case that stuck out to me the most. Torense Arnold vs.Latrarice Johnson was the second criminal case, with the man being the defendant against charges of domestic battery, burglary, and felony. Latrice Johnson had described her brutal relationship with Torense as an abusive obsession in which she wanted to get out of. She had been dragged by her hair throughout their house and had nail marks on her hands and face. Torence then pleaded guilty and was held at a 150,000 dollar bond, Latrice was issued an order of protection against him and her siblings.…

    Trial By Jury

    It isn’t arduous to see why some may question the efficiency of trial by jury and whether it should, and is able to, continue to discover innocence or guilt. Regarding the trial of Vicky Pryce, the failure of the jury within the hearing conjured ridicule and disdain from the judge and the media. The case deeply unsettled the trust of many in the system. The eight women and four men were dismissed after illustrating “fundamental deficits of understanding” (Jacobson, Hunter & Kirby, 2015, p. 55). Their profuse questions for the judge were deemed as unintelligent and unnecessary and so a costly re-trial was required. Consequently, this ordeal provoked a stronger desire for the abolition of trial by jury, to be replaced by a single judge as a more…

    Confidentiality In Court Cases

    Confidentiality to a criminal defendant can be a tough topic to speak upon. The scenario that I was given deals with two coworkers and one client. One is a paralegal, one is an attorney, and then the client. The paralegal and the client are friends and the paralegal works for the attorney, who is currently facing felony charges. The paralegal should inform the client of such charges of the attorney because the client is asking of the attorney to do a similar job as to what he is being charged for. Such information would be considered public record, either the client look it up herself or the paralegal inform her before she looks it up. The client needs to ensure that her property will be safe in someone else's hands and she's getting what…

When submitted as evidence, such statements are called hearsay evidence. Hearsay evidence is generally not accepted in court.
