Memorandum

To:	Chief Judge Gary B. Andrews
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Rule 21. Physical Evidence - Original Evidence
Date:	November 25, 1997

Attached please find a series of memos to and from Judge Beasley and me regarding this rule. Basically, Judge Beasley would have the rules require the clerk to send up original evidence, such as audio tapes, video tapes, photographs, plaques and other documents, with each and every case. I basically am opposed to having all original evidence sent up with every case. I prefer to let the Court make a determination if original evidence is needed before we ask the trial court to send it up.

Thank you.
