Kirk DeWayne McClain v. the State of Texas
How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that third-party records “are admissible as business records of the incorporating entity provided that it relies on the records, there are other indicia of reliability, and the requirements of [the Hawaii business records exception] are otherwise satisfied” (emphasis added)
- noting that \some courts have found it significant that the entity that created the documents did so in connection with a contractual obligation owed to the second entity\
- outlining HRE Rule 803(b)(6)'s application to third-party business records that have been incorporated into the receiving company's business records
- noting that because the record did not indicate what kind of test was performed to ensure the speedometer in the officer’s vehicle was reliable, the foundational requirements set forth with respect to the electronic balance in Wallace and Manewa were applicable
- remanding for entry of judgment of a non-criminal traffic infraction because the evidence did not prove that the defendant exceeded the speed limit by at least thirty miles per hour
- noting \the record does not clearly establish how the speed check card was produced\
