How courts have described this case

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

  • noting that statements exposing the declarant to criminal liability but exculpating the accused are suspect; thus, the inference of trustworthiness from the proffered corroborating circumstances must be strong, not merely allowable
  • “Corroboration must ‘clearly’ indicate such trustworthiness. We take this to mean that the inference of trustworthiness from the proffered ‘corroborating circumstances’ must be strong, not merely allowable. As Judge Campbell has pointed out, ‘this is not an insignificant hurdle’.”
