Katie Bonner, Esau Bonner v. Isp Technologies, Inc., Crawford & Company, Inc., Movantgreen2 sentences2010Dist., 570 N.W.2d 633, 637 (Iowa 1997) (stating that, to be relevant, the evidence must be reliable, and reliability is an implicit requirement of admissibility under Iowa Rule of Evidence 5.702 because “unreliable testimony cannot assist the trier of fact”); see also Bonner v. ISP Techs., Inc., 259 F.3d 924, 929 (8th Cir.2001) (“The rule’s concern with ‘scientific knowledge’ is a reliability requirement, while the requirement that the evidence ‘assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or determine a fact in issue’ is a relevance requirement.”). 2010Dist., 570 N.W.2d 633, 637 (Iowa 1997) (stating that, to be relevant, the evidence must be reliable, and reliability is an implicit requirement of admissibility under Iowa Rule of Evidence 5.702 because “unreliable testimony cannot assist the trier of fact”); see also Bonner v.

State v. Dunngreen2 sentences2008As the Tennessee Supreme Court held in Hall , the foundational testimony for non-hearsay evidence need only be provided by a person with “special knowledge about the operation of the computer system.” Hall, 976 S.W.2d at 147 ; see also Dunn, 7 S.W.3d at 432 (holding testimony of a Southwestern Bell employee was sufficient to establish the reliability of records from AT & T). 2008As the Tennessee Supreme Court held in Hall, the foundational testimony for non-hearsay evidence need only be provided by a person with “special knowledge about the operation of the computer system.” Hall, 976 S.W.2d at 147 ; see also Dunn, 7 S.W.3d at 432 (holding testimony of a Southwestern Bell employee was sufficient to establish the reliability of records from AT&T). | 2 | 2 |

Commonwealth v. Johnsongreen1 sentence2020But, as noted by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, “[t]he inverse of this is probably more accurate: the admission of unnecessarily suggestive identification procedures under the reliability test would likely result in the innocent being jailed while the guilty remain free.” Johnson, 650 N.E.2d at 1263. | 1 | 1 |

State of Iowa v. Bion Blake Ingram

1 sentence2020The Doolin dissent noted that through the various cases before the Court, the reliability analysis focused on “a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.” Id. at ___ (quoting Simmons, 390 U.S. at 384 , 88 S. Ct. at 971 ). | 1 | 2020–2020 |

State v. Long
green
1 sentence2020It based the factors on “well-respected and essentially unchallenged empirical studies” as laid out in State v. Long, 721 P.2d 483 (Utah 1986), even while conceding that the holding in Long “was not squarely based on the state constitution.” The opinion established this “more empirically based approach” solely because the court “judge[d] this to be a more appropriate approach.” These sorts of considerations—rooted in evolving social science and legal scholarship—may be appropriate grounds for our provision of “guidance” on the reliability of eyewitness identification testimony. | 1 | 2020–2020 |
