Excited Utterance

Evidence Law's Blind Spots. Jamie Macleod from Brooklyn Law School argues, among other things, that evidence law needs to worry as much about what juries do in the absence of certain evidence as in the presence of it. He discusses new empirical work showing some troubling racial disparities when mock jurors are presented with so-called sanitized evidence, such as when the fact of prior convictions is revealed without specific details.
