Hamama Matters to research



 

1.       May the authenticity of a document be established through the use of a witness who did not create the document, was not the records keeper?

2.       Under rule 901(b)(1), define what “witness with knowledge means?”

3.       What does under qualified witness mean under F.R.E. 802(6)?  What is the level of familiarity a witness must have with the record keeping procedure of an organization such that the witness may lay a foundation to meet the business records exception under United States v. Baker, 458 F.3d 513, 518? 

4.       Does the business records exception apply to a document and all its content?  What about hearsay within hearsay in a document?

5.       Provide any available case law that counsels courts to not use the residual hearsay exception?
