"...but not including statement of memory or belief" is always what's gets me. Qualifying 803(3) statements can often be mixed in with conclusory statements.
Thanks for going into detail and giving examples. 2L taking evidence and this 803(3) "statement of memory or belief" was mad confusing. You cleared it up!
Dude you need more subs. Here’s a comment for the algorithm.
Real nice job! You have a knack for explaining the rules...
Glad it was helpful!
Sending appreciation from UF law
So if I asked a mechanic if my car was safe to drive and he gave a thumbs up, that can come in as the mechanic's belief that the car was safe but not as evidence the car was in fact safe?
Yes. And I don’t like the “I believe” “I remember” aspect of this rule either. 👎
