Jack says nevermind:
Professor V: “So what type of evidence is allowed?”
Jack: “Well, you can go to rule 56(c) and the permitted materials from rule 56(e)(1), or you can go to rule 32…”
Professor V: “Wait, so where are we going?”
Jack: “Uh, I shouldn’t have opened my mouth…”
Re: The Elvis hypo
Professor V: It’s pretty persuasive that when you clean your gun you don’t put it in your mouth to lick it off.”
Prof V gave us an insurance dispute hypo. The fact pattern is a tad graphic:
On Saturday morning, February 17, 1996, Priscilla Anderson left the apartment to do some grocery shopping. When she left, Elvis Anderson was sitting at the kitchen table. A cloth was spread out on the table and resting upon it were Elvis’ revolver and a bottle of cleaning solvent. Two hours later, Priscilla returned to the apartment and found Elvis dead from a gunshot wound to the head. The autopsy report found that Elvis had died from a shot into his mouth and through his brain. The medical examiner determined that at the time the bullet had been released the barrel of the gun was fully inside the decedent’s mouth.
… who said CivPro was boring?
