The rule on sequestration (exclusion) of witnesses is designed to avoid fabrication and collusion and has traditional roots in the Old Testament. Special rules apply regarding expert witnesses and "support persons." The contours of such special rules are explored within the Federal Rules of Evidence, state rules of evidence, state appellate and supreme court decisions, and U.S. Supreme Court de...

Laboratory research shows that eye-closure during memory retrieval improves both the amount and the factual accuracy of memory reports about witnessed events. Based on these findings, we developed the Eye-Closure Interview, and examined its feasibility (in terms of compliance with the instructions) and effectiveness (in terms of the quantity and quality of reported information) in eyewitness in...

BACKGROUND Delay in calling emergency medical services following stroke limits access to early treatment that can reduce disability. Emergency medical services contact is mostly initiated by stroke witnesses (often relatives), rather than stroke patients. This study explored appraisal and behavioural factors that are potentially important in influencing witness behaviour in response to stroke. ...

Fundamental building blocks for managing and understanding software evolution in the context of model-driven engineering are differencing operators one can use for model comparisons. Semantic model differencing deals with the definition and computation of semantic diff operators for model comparison, operators whose input consists of two models and whose output is a set of diff witnesses, insta...

The scandal of medical witnesses being retained on opposite sides in courts of law and crivin" what looks like partisan evidence is often the subject of remark and sneer, and it is mooted that if medical men cited as witnesses by opposing litigants were to meet in consultation before thecase came into court and were to arrive at some sort of agreement regarding the fact and the opinion founded ...

We derive a set of algebraic equations, the so-called multipartite separability eigenvalue equations. Based on their solutions, we introduce a universal method for the construction of multipartite entanglement witnesses. We witness multipartite entanglement of 10(3) coupled quantum oscillators, by solving our basic equations analytically. This clearly demonstrates the feasibility of our method ...

In ‘Corroborating Testimony, Probability and Surprise’, Erik J. Olsson ascribes to L. Jonathan Cohen the claims that if two witnesses provide us with the same information, then the less probable the information is, the more confident we may be that the information is true (C), and the stronger the information is corroborated (C*). We question whether Cohen intends anything like claims (C) and (...
