Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

In five previous Georgia and Eleventh Circuit evidence survey articles, the author extolled the virtues of the proposed Georgia Rules of Evidence.' These rules roughly tracked the Federal Rules of Evidence and would replace Georgia's existing evidence code which is, in reality, not a code at all but rather a jumble of disjointed statutes found in several different titles of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated and countless court decisions. The proposed rules were first introduced in the General Assembly in 1989 and were approved by the Senate in 1990 and 1991 but have never been reported out of the …

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell Jul 1992

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

For the past several years, the State Bar of Georgia has lobbied vigorously for the adoption of a new Georgia Evidence Code based upon the Federal Rules of Evidence. Few would dispute that the existing Georgia Evidence Code, which really is not a code at all but rather an amorphous amalgam of disjointed statutes and thousands of judicial decisions, is in need of revision. Apparently, however, there is considerable dispute regarding exactly what changes should be made.

The proposed Georgia Rules of Evidence is the product of an intensive study by the State Bar of the deficiencies of the existing …

Constitutional Admissibility Of Hearsay Under The Confrontation Clause: Reliability Requirement For Hearsay Admitted Under A Non-"Firmly Rooted" Exception - Idaho V. Wright, A. Perry Wadsworth Jr. Jan 1992

Constitutional Admissibility Of Hearsay Under The Confrontation Clause: Reliability Requirement For Hearsay Admitted Under A Non-"Firmly Rooted" Exception - Idaho V. Wright, A. Perry Wadsworth Jr.

Campbell Law Review

This note discusses the facts of Idaho v. Wright, examines the history of the admissibility of hearsay under the Confrontation Clause, and analyzes the Wright decision. This note concludes that by excluding the use of corroborative evidence in determining the trustworthiness of non-firmly rooted hearsay, the Court enhances Confrontation Clause protection for criminal defendants, but perhaps at the expense of some crime victims, such as sexually abused children.
