Description
Admissibility of judicial records. Provides that the relevant provisions of 8.01-389, and no other section, govern the admissibility into evidence of records of judicial proceedings and any other official records of any court of the Commonwealth. The bill also provides for what constitutes sufficient certification of a record by the clerk. This bill is in response to the decision of the Supreme Court of Virginia in Waller v. Commonwealth, 278 Va. 731, 685 S.E.2d 48 (2009). Read the Bill »
