1 Darcy is on trial for fatally stabbing Vidor in a bar fight. Vidor died from his wounds a week after the assault. Over a defense objection, the prosecution introduces testimony from Vidor's sister that an hour before Vidor died, he said "Listen, this is important. I'm dying. Darcy is the one who stabbed me. I want you to tell him I forgive him." Over a prosecution objection, the defense then introduces testimony from Vidor's friend Fouad that 3 days earlier when Vidor thought he would survive, he told Fouad that he ad been stabbed by Gavin, a business competitor. Was the judge right to overrule both objections? If its not covered by the dying declaration, what else could it be covered by? Can prob come in under 803(3) Declan is on trial for bank robbery. Called as a prosecution witness, the bank teller is unable to identify Declan as the robber. The prosecutor then calls a PO who testifies that the teller picked Declan out of a lineup shortly after the robbery and identified him as the robber. Is the officer's testimony admissible?
