Notes of Decisions
Evidence that state may have used coercive or unduly suggestive methods in questioning witness does not provide grounds for court to hold pretrial hearing on reliability of witness’ statements and testimony. State v. Bumgarner, 219 Or App 617, 184 P3d 1143 (2008), Sup Ct review denied
When defendant raises challenge under this section, proponent of evidence must offer other evidence that witness had adequate opportunity to personally observe or perceive facts forming testimony sufficient to demonstrate “personal knowledge” in order to dispel concerns that eyewitness testimony can be led or prompted by outside sources. State v. Lawson/James, 352 Or 724, 291 P3d 673 (2012)
