Recent updates:
- Update: April 2024
  Dear Subscriber,
  
  We're pleased to send you the 2024 edition of A Practical Guide to Evidence in New Hampshire. This new edition contains information on topics such as the following:
  - Genetic testing See chapter 6 for new discussion of DNA testing in criminal investigation and prosecution.
  - Foundational requirements for eyewitness to identify the defendant. Chapter 6 adds new discussion and a practice tip.
  - Use of prior convictions. See chapter 8 for a 2023 case cite that addresses the applicable time limit with respect to the use of prior convictions in cases where a sentence has been suspended or a witness released from confinement. The chapter cites New Hampshire Rule of Evidence 609.
  - Use of an expert in certain cases. Chapter 9 offers a practical tip on attempting to explain a witness's behavior through New Hampshire Rule of Evidence 404(b) evidence rather than through expert testimony. The chapter cites a 2023 case holding that uncharged conduct was inherently prejudicial, and the prejudicial effect outweighed the probative value.
  - Excited utterances. See chapter 11 for discussion of the time lapse before a statement loses its spontaneity as an excited utterance.
  - Social media. Chapter 13 adds a cite to a 2023 case where a screenshot was at issue in the court's consideration as to the authentication of Facebook messages.
  We at MCLE trust that you will find this new material to be useful in your litigation practice and valuable in your law library.
  
  Cordially,
