Litigator Libations

70 - H.V.Z v. United States and Lt Col Ghiotto on Hearsay

Darrel-the-DCAP Season 3 Episode 70

In this, the last episode of Season 3, we discuss HVZ v. U.S., where CAAF found that MRE 513(e) gives patient's standing to the extent that they have a right to be heard on a defense motion to compel their mental health records regardless of whether the records are privileged under MRE 513.  We also hear from Lt Col Ghiotto who discusses the rule against hearsay and a couple of exceptions that defenders may want to consider.
