1 Darcy is on trial for fatally stabbing Vidor in a bar fight. Vidor died from his wounds a week after the assault. Over a defense objection, the prosecution introduces testimony from Vidor's sister that an hour before Vidor died, he said "Listen, this is important. I'm dying. Darcy is the one who stabbed me. I want you to tell him I forgive him." Over a prosecution objection, the defense then introduces testimony from Vidor's friend Fouad that 3 days earlier when Vidor thought he would survive, he told Fouad that he ad been stabbed by Gavin, a business competitor. Was the judge right to overrule both objections? ● If its not covered by the dying declaration, what else could it be covered by? • Can prob come in under 803(3) Declan is on trial for bank robbery. Called as a prosecution witness, the bank teller is unable to identify Declan as the robber. The prosecutor then calls a PO who testifies that the teller picked Declan out of a lineup shortly after the robbery and identified him as the robber. Is the officer's testimony admissible? 1 Darcy is on trial for fatally stabbing Vidor in a bar fight. Vidor died from his wounds a week after the assault.
