Indeed. When the defendant isn’t even charged with being a moron, why would you ever just gratuitously pick up the burden of trying to prove that he’s not one? Unsuccessfully at that, it would seem.

Isn’t the notation on the intake form that Stern referred her Hearsay? Its obviously an out of court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted. The Business record exception might apply to the law firm, but it is not their statement, it is the co-defendant’s statement, and she denied that he referred her. If it is offered to impeach her, wouldn’t that create a Bruton problem?
