Georgia court cites legal text in rape trial evidence decision

Callaway Chair of Law Emeritus Ronald L. Carlson's book, "Carlson on Evidence" (co-authored with M. Carlson), has been referenced by the Georgia Court of Appeals in a recent case, Martinez-Gaspar v. State. The book was used to determine the admissibility of evidence presented to the jury in a rape trial. This marks the 81st instance where Georgia appellate courts have relied on this text for guidance on evidentiary matters.
