How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that call records not generated solely by the internal operations of the computer, but that likely involved a human’s data entry, constituted hearsay
• concluding that the admissibility of records that are entirely self- generated should be determined on the basis of the reliability and accuracy of the process used to create and obtain the data
• declining to find cellphone call records fell outside the definition of hearsay because the record showed the relevant data was “entered by a person”
• “When records are entirely self-generated by the internal operations of the computer, they do not implicate the hearsay rule because they do not constitute a statement of a ‘person.’ ”
