Res gestae
This article is for the legal term 'Res Gestae'. For the article on the record of the accomplishments of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, see the article for
Res Gestae Divi Augusti. Res gestae (a
Latin phrase meaning "things done") is an exception to the rule against
Hearsay evidence. Res gestae is based on the belief that because certain statements are made naturally, spontaneously and without deliberation during the course of an event, they leave little room for misunderstanding/misinterpretation upon hearing by someone else (i.e. by the witness who will later repeat the statement to the court) and thus the courts believe that such statements carry a high degree of credibility. Statements which can be admitted into evidence as Res gestae fall into three headings:Words or phrases which either form part of, or explain, a physical act,Exclamations which are so spontaneous as to belie concoction, andStatements which are evidence as to someone's state of mind.
