  • holding that courts apply this exception to determine the admissibility of computer records containing employee data entry
  • noting that once the “threshold for proving admissibility has been met, any gaps in the evidence are relevant to the trier of fact’s assessment of its weight rather than its admissibility”
  • “In determining the admissibility of computer records, when the argument has been advanced that they are inadmissible hearsay, we have employed the traditional business records exception to the hearsay rule.”
  • in applying the business records hearsay exception, holding that the manual performance by employees of data sorting previously done by a computer, thereby reducing reliability, went to the weight to be given the evidence rather than to its admissibility
