§ 1105 Habit Evidence Admissibility

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone always does something the same way, you can use that to guess they did it that way this time too.
  • •This is about using past habits to explain what probably happened now.
  • •The habit has to be something they do a lot, not just once or twice.

Example

A person always bucks their seatbelt every time they drive.

If there's a car crash and someone says they didn't buckle up, but they always do, this law says you can use their habit to show they probably did buckle up this time.
