Code § 48-904.01(a)(2)(A).

|||||
Overview: A complaining witness's statements were properly admitted as excited utterances. They were made minutes after the witness was robbed and when he was upset; an officer's questions did not require deliberation by the witness; and the officer's substitution of a few inconsequential words for the witness's words did not make his testimony unreliable.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS, August 16, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Judgment as a matter of law in a breach of oral contract case was appropriate because under the parol evidence rule of D.C. Code § 28:2-202, a retailer was not able to substantiate its claim with any admissible evidence as the prices in the wholesaler's sales invoices, which were integrated into the parties' agreement, were unambiguously specified.

|||||
Overview: A jury instruction that the lack of fingerprint evidence could not, as a matter of law, constitute reasonable doubt impermissibly invaded the jury's exclusive province to weigh the evidence as a whole against the standard of reasonable doubt, and required reversal, D.C. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 52(b).
