New Decisions from Illinois, Texas

Courtesy of Dedman, we've posted a new Texas decision affirming the exclusion of rebuttal testimony from a treating physician as a sanction for failure to comply with disclosure requirements. See Moore v. Mem'l Hermann Hosp. Sys., Inc., No. 14-02-01147-CV (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] July 8, 2004, no pet. h.).

Courtesy of Petit, we've posted a new Illinois decision reversing the admission of hypnotically enhanced eyewitness testimony in a murder trial, and also reversing the exclusion of the defense expert who opined that hypnotically enhanced memories are unreliable. See People v. Sutton, No. 1-02-1280 (Ill. App. 1st Dist. Jun. 23, 2004).
