Affidavits do not equal evidence


Nov 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

Someone needs to catalog all of the “sworn affidavits” made that turn out to be worthless over the last four years. Just in the last two weeks we’ve had postal worker and now the so-called cyber security expert provide statements that have turned out to be so inaccurate that they are just as damaging as outright lies.

I thought the idea of throwing these people on Don Ho Island with the fork-tongued lizards was the way to go, but I’d settle for simply excommunicating them from public life,

Not according to Lying Limbaugh. He told his listeners

affidavits are indeed evidence. And you know he’s a very trustworthy source.

When the stakes are this high, challenges

like the ones we have seen lately need to have a price tag when they are so clearly lacking in substance. These people have ###### with us, and now they need to pay.

Would perjury not apply here ??

Not in my court of experience.

They're a starting point for stuff, but not in themselves evidence or proof of anything. Your marriage license is technically an affidavit. It is not evidence you're legally married though. Blows people's minds sometimes. I'd guess 1-2% (at least) of marriage licenses in SC are not valid for one reason or another.

Like everything, it depends

I’m not a lawyer, but affadavits are like ham sandwiches.

“Affidavits must be based on personal knowledge, they must contain facts as would be admissible in evidence, and they must demonstrate the affiant’s competency to testify to the matters stated. And, just as at trial, a factual predicate for the affiant’s testimony is required.”

Affidavits are okay for avoiding summary judgment...


Nov 20, 2020, 2:07 PM [ in reply to Re: Affidavits do not equal evidence ]

but because they don't offer an opportunity to cross - no bueno for proving your case in court.

Sworn affidavits are typically hearsay and inadmissible.

Also, what Ford said.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
