Trascher v. Territo
Supreme Court of Louisiana
1Opinion of the CourtVictory, J.
| ]This writ application involves the admissibility of a video deposition taken to perpetuate testimony where the deposition was halted due to the deponent’s failing health and fatigue, and the deponent died before his deposition could be continued and before he could be cross-examined by opposing counsel. After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we find that while most of the video deposition is inadmissible, parts of the deposition are admissible under an exception to the hearsay rule. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court in part and affirm in part.
