New Exception to the Rule Against Hearsay: Forfeiture by Wrongdoing

Tom Boyd and Kyle Kroll will present “New Exception to the Rule Against Hearsay: Forfeiture by Wrongdoing” during the Hot Topics in Courtroom Evidence seminar hosted by Minnesota CLE on June 18, 2021.

This session will inform practitioners about Rule 804(b)(6), the newest addition to the Minnesota hearsay rules promulgated since the last Deskbook update. The presentation will explain the historical roots behind the rule (including a U.S. Supreme Court reversal of a Minnesota Supreme Court case), survey how the rule has been applied in Minnesota and surrounding jurisdictions with similar doctrines in the past few years, and offer insights about how the rule may be used in both criminal and civil litigation in the future.
