Procedural Posture

Criminal / Ruling on Evidentiary Objection

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether certificate of seizure is admissible given objections on authenticity, signature, and relevance
  2. 2 Whether prior ruling on relevance bars re-raising similar objections
  3. 3 Whether contents and authenticity objections can be determined at admission stage

Ratio Decidendi

Objections on relevance and authenticity of certificate of seizure are not grounds for rejecting admissibility at this stage; prior ruling on relevance binds parties and bars re-raising similar objections; authenticity and content issues are reserved for final determination; certificate of seizure is admitted as exhibit.

Court Disposition

objections overruled; certificate of seizure admitted as exhibit

Orders

  • Certificate of seizure for items retrieved from Mohamed Ally Omari admitted as exhibit
