Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 91

During the trial, an investigator observes that one of the principal witnesses is severely ill and cannot be present for the hearing. He decides to record the evidence and present it to the court. Under which rule should he present such evidence?

Answer options

• A. Rule 1003: Admissibility of Duplicates
• B. Limited admissibility
• C. Locard's Principle
• D. Hearsay

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Limited admissibility, as it allows for certain evidence to be presented under specific circumstances, such as a witness being unable to testify in person. The other options do not apply: A pertains to duplicates, C is a forensic principle, and D relates to statements made outside of court, which doesn't fit this scenario.
