version with the December 2010 amendments:
http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/printers/111th/evid2010.pdf The Rules need to be amended as follows: Rule 401. Definition of ‘‘Relevant Evidence’’, to read as follows: ‘‘Relevant evidence’’ means (1) evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the deter- mination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence; or (2) evidence of what is or is not the law applicable to the case, including the text of constitutional provisions, statutes, or court precedents; or (3) evidence of official misconduct that might adversely affect the rights of any parties to the case. Rule 1003. Admissibility of Duplicates, to read as follows: A duplicate is admissible to the same extent as an original un- less (1) a genuine question is raised as to the authenticity of the original; or (2) in the circumstances it would be unfair to admit the duplicate in lieu of the original; or (3) it is a debt instrument for which each originally signed document is a separate obligation. If you agree, write your members of Congress asking them to amend the Rules as shown above. -- Jon ---------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society http://constitution.org 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322 twitter.com/lex_rex Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------- |
