Com. v. Hernandez

1 Citing case

  1. Beatty v. Kauffman

    1:19-cv-184 (W.D. Pa. Oct. 12, 2021)

    In arguing to the contrary, [Beatty] refers to statements that must be considered in the context in which they were given; either to establish the witness's role in disclosure and/or investigation, the victim's competency, or to permit diagnosis. See e.g., Commonwealth v. Hernandez, 615 A.2d 1337, 1341 (concluding that the trial court's instructions correctly informed the jury that the witness, in performing her job, made certain evaluations and reached conclusions distinct from the jury's function as fact-finder). Commonwealth v. Loner, 609 A.2d 1376, 1377 (explaining that the Commonwealth may present evidence of child victim's prior consistent statement to corroborate the victim's testimony).
