Excerpt from The Rules of Evidence: Stated and Discussed
All persons, without exception, who, having any of the organs of sense, can perceive, and perceiving can make known their perceptions to others, should be received and examined as witnesses.
Objections may be made to the credit, but never to the competency of witnesses.
While the best evidence should always be required, the best existing and attainable evidence should not be excluded, because it is not the best evidence of which the case in its nature is susceptible.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical exclusion of witnesses in court based on religious principles. The author discusses the arguments for and against excluding witnesses on the basis of atheism, religious belief, interest, infamy, and marital status, and how ideas around religious belief have changed throughout history, as well as how differing courts have approached the idea of admitting the testimony of those who lacked religious principles. The author argues that the exclusion of witnesses based on religious principles is often arbitrary and unjust, and that it can lead to miscarriages of justice. The book concludes by calling for the abolition of all religious tests for witnesses, and for the adoption of a more just and equitable system of evidence law.
