Attorney Calls Little Jimmy 7501000 Word Assignme

Based on the facts from Week #2’s written assignment dealing with Little Jimmy and Sally, please consider the following questions. I have attached the fact pattern from Week#2’s written assignment to refresh your recollection. Please review your readings on evidence including the Federal Rules of Evidence as you prepare your answers.

1. While at the hospital, Little Jimmy told his wife that he was not drunk but that he had a few beers at a bar two hours before the accident. Sally’s attorney calls Little Jimmy’s wife as a witness at the trial and asks Little Jimmy’s wife whether Little Jimmy had any drinks on the day of the accident.

Should Little Jimmy’s wife answer the question? And, if you represented Little Jimmy what objection would you raise?

1. Little Jimmy’s attorney seeks to introduce into evidence a copy of the police report from the accident where the police officer stated, “The driver of the Fiat 500 caused the accident by passing a red light.”

Should a judge allow the police report into evidence? And, if you represented Sally what evidentiary objection would you raise?

1. At the scene of the accident, Sally stated that she did not pass the red light. Instead, Sally tells the police that Little Jimmy crossed the red light. Little Jimmy seeks to enter into evidence a video recording of the accident captured from the video surveillance of a local gas station.

Should a judge allow the video recording into evidence? And, if you represented Sally what evidentiary objection would you raise?

1. At the hospital following the accident, a doctor takes a blood test that reveals that Little Jimmy’s blood alcohol level was over the legal limit. Sally’s attorney learns about the blood test from a nurse who drew Little Jimmy’s blood at the hospital who is a family friend of Sally’s attorney. Sally’s attorney calls the doctor who took the test and the nurse who drew Little Jimmy’s blood as witnesses at trial and seeks to elicit testimony about Little Jimmy’s blood alcohol level at the trial.

Should a judge allow the doctor and the nurse who drew Little Jimmy’s blood as witnesses at trial? What are the possible objections that Little Jimmy’s attorney can raise to the calling of these witnesses?
