I am preparing an online solicitation case where the bad guy used Instant Messenger to chat with our underage victim. Now we have the IM printouts but I need to know the proper predicate to enter that into evidence.

Why can't the victim testify as a person with personal knowledge and say that the printout of the IM's is a true and accurate duplicate of the messages she received from the defendant?

We've tried a few here. We have a go by that the AG gave us.

I'll forward it along to you.

Stuart, I don't see an email for you. If you email me, I'll send you the stuff we have from the AG and that we've changed up a bit for our cases.
