Present your own opinion on the assigned topic in a 275500 word thread. Provide at least 1 “scholarly” reference and 1 Scripture in support of your thread. The scholarly references and scriptures you incorporate in your initial posts must come from outside the class . That is they can NOT come from the class, i.e. the textbook or scriptures listed in the assignments/PowerPoints. You must go out and search for them by yourself.

For this weeks discussion board, locate and read the U.S. Supreme Court case of Adrian Martell Davis v. Washington, 547 U.S. 813 (2006) No. 05-5224. The case can be found by looking it up through the Liberty University Library, by doing a NexisUni search. You should select Law Review and Journals to do an accurate search (rather than the default News). If you still can’t find it, contact the Library, and they are always glad to help.

Assume the following facts:

After leaving a bar, a woman enters her car in a darkened parking garage. She is confronted by her ex-husband, against whom she has a domestic no-contact order. She attempts to dial 911 from her cellular telephone, but is unable to make a connection. Amazingly, she is able to take a photograph with her phone and send an accompanying text message, asking for assistance to a law enforcement friend. The officer and woman exchange text messages about who is assaulting her and where she is located until the ex-husband flees. The woman is unable to appear at trial and the defendant moves to suppress the statements at his trial for felony violation of the no-contact order.

Given the above facts, and using the Courts rationale for distinguishing testimonial and non-testimonial statements, state whether the text message and photograph should be admitted as evidence at trial and why.
According to Deuteronomy 19:15, One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of any crime or offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses (NIV 1984).
In light of that scripture, elaborate how you would change or not change your answer.
Provide at least 1 reference and 1 scripture in support of your post.
