Inadmissibility of statements taken in violation of AS 12.61.120 or 12.61.125.

Last amended: 1996Year: 2026Length: 75 wordsOfficial source
A statement obtained from a victim or witness in violation of AS 12.61.120 or 12.61.125 is presumed inadmissible in a prosecution of the defendant. To overcome the presumption of inadmissibility, the defendant must prove by clear and convincing evidence that (1) the statement is reliable; (2) similar evidence is unavailable from any other source; and (3) failure to introduce the statement would substantially undermine the reliability of the fact-finding process and result in manifest injustice.
