Questions & Answers
What is legal relevance in evidence law?
Legal relevance has two components: logical relevance (probative value) and materiality. Evidence is logically relevant if it tends to make a fact more or less probable. It is material if it relates to a fact that needs to be determined in the action.
When can relevant evidence be excluded?
Relevant evidence can be excluded under Rule 403 if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, or causing undue delay.
What is the difference between semi-automatic and automatic rifles?
A semi-automatic rifle fires one shot per trigger pull. An automatic rifle fires continuously as long as the trigger is held back.
What is the purpose of Rule 402 in evidence law?
Rule 402 states that relevant evidence is admissible unless the U.S. Constitution, federal statute, or other rules provide otherwise. Irrelevant evidence is not admissible.
What is the main issue in the machine gun possession case?
The main issue is whether the defendant illegally converted a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic machine gun. The prosecution must prove the rifle was capable of rapid fire like an automatic weapon.
