Frederich G. Meder Evelyn Meder v. Everest & Jennings, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• rejecting evidence offered under the Rule 803(6) hearsay exception because other evidence indicated that the information was not trustworthy
• lack of “trustworthiness” where there is no way of divining basis of description of cause of accident contained in a police report
• on issue of whether police officer's notes were based upon the statements of accident victim, the fact the officer normally spoke to the victims first did not rise to the level of habit under Fed. R. Evid. 406
• reference in police report about cause of accident should have been excluded because the author was not on the scene at the time of the accident, did not remember whether victim-plaintiff made a statement and did not recall with whom he spoke at the scene
