Notes of Decisions
Testimony taken by telephone during trial was not deposition but was oral examination which ORS 45.040 requires to be “in the presence” of jury or tribunal which is to decide fact or act upon it, and it was error for court to allow telephonic testimony in absence of statute or procedural rule allowing it. State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. Gates, 86 Or App 631, 740 P2d 217 (1987), Sup Ct review denied
Where witness testifies in court that contents of written statement by witness are truthful, testimony is sufficient to make contents of statement part of evidentiary record for purpose of appellate review. Lowrance v. Trow, 225 Or App 250, 200 P3d 637 (2009)
