To cite only one
example — which includes a spoiler — how likely is it that the racist white cop (Matt Dillon) who gropes a well - to - do black woman (Thandie Newton) while pretending to search her for weapons one night will be the officer who rescues her from a potentially fatal
car accident less than 24 hours later, or that
during the same time frame his partner will save her husband from being shot by another policeman?
These exceptions are made in the case of contemporaneous medical records that, while subject to being attacked as unreliable by opposing litigants, can speak to pertinent facts for which no other evidence exists; for
example, the notes of a chiropractor made
during an appointment that occurred prior to a
car accident that resulted in a personal injury claim, which shed light on the Plaintiff's condition before the
accident when no other available evidence could.
