Bob Is on Trial for the Murder of Carl

question 16

Multiple Choice

Bob is on trial for the murder of Carl. The prosecution is basing its case on the theory that Bob forged Carl's will, which revoked Carl's original will and made Bob the sole beneficiary, before killing Carl. Carl's original will was witnessed by Donna and Eve. Eve is a notary public. The prosecution has not been able to locate her. How will this affect the admissibility of the will that she notarized?

• A) The signature will be admissible because all signatures of a notary public are self-authenticating.
• B) If Eve signed the required statement of authenticity at the time the will was signed the prosecution will not need to authenticate it at trial.
• C) The will can be admitted as a certified public record.
• D) The page with Eve's signature will be inadmissible unless Eve testifies.
