EXCLUSION OF WITNESSES - FRE Rule 615 - Susanna and the Elders - Case Brief - Evidence

So I'm just briefing cases for evidence class and was surprised that the bible is in my casebook. After briefing it, I decided to post it here. So this is Susanna and the Elders - Gregalabama Edition. :)

EXCLUSION OF WITNESSES Rule 615
Susanna and the Elders, The Bible, KJV.

Joacim (J) had a wife and a daughter that feared god, and he had a garden, he was wealthy. Two elder judges were appointed and they kept their stuff at J’s house.

The elderss took a liking to the wife, when J wasn’t home. She didn’t know they were there, so she went skinny dipping in the garden, while they peeped. She asked for soap from her maid, and that the maid shut the garden doors for privacy. The judges then ran to her and asked her if she would have sex with them, but if she refused. The elders threatened that they would say that the reason she wanted the doors shut was because she had another fella there who she was fornacating with. Realizing her peril, she refused their offer, knowing it would be bad either way.

The judges called for her to trial to put her to death. (evil bastards from Babylon, no wonder). The judges said she was having sex with this younger dude, who they could not capture. They stated that she would not say who the fella was. The sheep, err, I mean people, condemned her to death. She cried out to god to show the elders as false witnesses and to spare her life.

The Lord was listening. When she was to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name is Daniel; who cried with a loud voice, “I am clear from the blood of this woman.”. The sheep, err, I mean people, were confused by this. Daniel called the people sheep, and said the judges were lying.

The people awakened from their slumber, of acquiescence to authority, to question the elders. Daniel excluded each elder from hearing testimony of the other. They had very conflicting statements as to under which tree this alleged fornication took place. The people, realizing the injustice, raised up against the elders. Daniel convicted them of false witness and according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: they put him to death. The people liked Daniel after that. :)

Once again, thanks for taking the time to stop by and read this blog.

Wrinkle Neck Mules - Central Daylight Time GEICO song LYRICS

This is the song from the GEICO commercial



Well the roof blew off the club in Oklahoma City,
Fireman said "The show can't go on"
So we spent another night somewhere in New Mexico.
drinkin' until all our money was gone
Had a day to kill so climbed up a mountain
walked straight down the other side.
Picked up a hitch-hiker on the way back to Taos she said
"Thank you boys for the ride"

If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day.
If I'da listened to my mom she said "Don't be believing'
everything --- they try to say"
There's no line at the door and only thirty people
bothered to ad-vance pay
If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day

We unpacked everything, and we set it all up to
To play three songs on a radio show,
but you never can tell if anyone's listening,
and I guess it don't kill us what we don't know
So we play 'em just the same, and we tell 'em our name
and how to find us on the computer screen
When we're packing' it up I hear Stu on the phone saying'
"Baby, I'm livin' the dream"

If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day
If I'da listened to my mom she said "Don't be believing'.
everything --- they try to say"
There's no line at the door and only twenty people
bothered to ad-vance pay
If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day

We gotta to sell ten t-shirts and twenty cd's to get
from Stevenville to Houston town
Well there's people there who care a little 'bout me and
you know they won't let the poor boy down
It was five twenty nine, central daylight time, when
the five of us come strollin' in
With smiles all around, cause it's seventy six hours
'fore we gotta be leaving' again

If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day.
If I'da listened to my dad who said "Don't be believing'
everything --- that they try to say"
There's no line at the door and only five people
bothered to ad-vance pay.
If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day
If I could separate what's real from what I been dreamin'
I could live to fight another day
