151 Teneille Brown & Emily Murphy

Excited Utterance

Expert Framework Evidence. Teneille Brown from the University of Utah and Emily Murphy from UC Law San Francisco discuss their amicus brief in Diaz v. United States, to be argued before the Supreme Court on March 19, 2024. The case involves (and the episode explores) the problem of framework evidence, first described by John Monahan and Laurens Walker, and how it relates to Federal Rule of Evidence 704, which abolishes the ultimate issue rule, except for cases involving mental states.
