- Ohio v. Scott (OH 1972)
- Carol had originally given a statement to the police implicating her boyfriend; is now creating an alibi for him; prosecutor attempts to use 803(5) to get old statement in
- holding: statement was properly admitted under this exception
- logical basis of this rule: distinction from “present memory refreshed” (use of memorandum to refresh witness’s memory, witness then testifies naturally) – here, witness’ present recollection is still absent after seeing the memorandum
- application of rule to facts – all elements are met
- criticisms of this holding
- memory should be fully empty – at CL, if witness could testify partly, though not fully, about the event, then that was enough (exception didn’t apply)
Case briefs for law students, lawyers, and others researching case law. I created many of these briefs in law school and periodically update them from time to time. My goal has been to build a one stop resource center for law students!
