Evidence Law: The Rule of Relevance and Admissibility of Character Evidence

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

This is superb. So clear and informative. Really cuts to the core of the issue and makes it easy to remember.

There are exceptions. And there are exceptions to the exceptions. And of course exceptions to the exceptions of the exceptions.

Glad you like them!

This is great, thank you so much! :)

It has to be substantial and relevant with actual evidence

[@marilynmonhoe561]

If someone whose charged for murder say that they would never harm someone when they're being questioned would that be considered "opening the door" for their assault charges that were previously inadmissible?

[@RodneyHodges-b4g]

I've been waiting for someone to answer your question for like ten days.😕

[@LawShelf]

That's a judgment call up to the judge based on the specific facts and exactly what was said, but I'd say there's definitely a good chance that could open the door, yes.

Thank you!

Thank 😀u sir ji

[@godschaffeur7844]

For which type of law/jurisdiction is this video referring to please?

[@LawShelf]

The Federal Rules of Evidence, but the rules are comparable in all states, with minor differences.

[@godschaffeur7844]

How will the jury know the law?

[@LawShelf]

When it comes to evidence, the judge makes the decision before it goes to the jury. If it got to the jury already, the judge would instruct the jury on whether and to what extent they should consider it.

[@elitenemysis6633]

@@LawShelfIf I illegally obtained perfect proof / strong evidence of a crime, like a bloody machete in the back of a car, how, if I am a juror just supposed to dismiss it, if it is clear, relevant, and timely? Cuz a judge orders me to erase my memory of seeing it? Honest question.
