2 sentences

2019Section 90.801(2)(c), Florida Statutes (2016), states: “A statement is not hearsay if the declarant testifies at the trial or hearing and is subject to cross-examination concerning the statement and the statement is . . . [o]ne of identification of a person made after perceiving the person.” The reasoning behind the rule is that “such statements bear the mark of reliability because they are usually made in close temporal proximity to the actual event while the witnesses’ visual memory of the event is fresh.” Stanford v. State, 576 So. 2d 737, 739 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991).

1992This court gave the following similar reason in McCall v. Dick Burns, Inc., 408 So.2d 787, 790 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982): The reasoning behind the requirement of both a legal and medical causation analysis in heart cases, as well as in pre-existing disease cases, stems in good part from the view that the natural progress of a disease might precipitate a collapse during working hours.

1981Stewart v. State, 42 Fla. 591 , 28 So. 815 , 816 (1900).

[2] However, commentators prefer to attribute the basis to substantial policy considerations: unfair surprise, undue prejudice, confusion of the issues, and finally, time wasting and its adverse effect on judicial economy.
