How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- where observations in police report \fundamentally undermine[d]\ credibility of declarant, hearsay evidence lacked necessary indicia of reliability
- victim's \sarcastic\ attitude toward responding officer and seeming lack of emotional response detracted from hearsay reliability
- “While the language of rule 6[b] establishes a two-prong inquiry, Supreme Judicial Court decisions subsequent to the rule’s adoption have held that good cause need not be separately proven if the hearsay is deemed sufficiently reliable”
