Title 24. EVIDENCE |
Chapter 14. PROOF GENERALLY |
Article 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS |
Section 24-14-7. Positive testimony preferred over negative; exception
Latest version.
- The existence of a fact testified to by one positive witness is to be believed, rather than that such fact did not exist because many other witnesses who had the same opportunity of observation swear that they did not see or know of its having existed. This rule shall not apply when two parties have equal facilities for seeing or hearing a thing and one swears that it occurred while the other swears that it did not.
