SADO's Lindsay Ponce and Mike Waldo will present arguments to the Michigan Supreme Court at its April 2021 session.
Mike Waldo will argue for Ernesto Evaristo Uribe, Docket 159194 on the issue of a medical treatment exception to hearsay. The Court directed the parties to address: (1) whether Dr. Guertin’s testimony about the complainant’s statements to him was admissible under the medical treatment exception to the hearsay rule, see People v Garland, 286 Mich App 1 (2009), and People v Shaw, 315 Mich App 668 (2016); (2) whether Dr. Guertin’s testimony was contrary to this Court’s decision in People v Thorpe, 504 Mich 230 (2019), and/or People v Harbison, 504 Mich 230 (2019); and (3) if error occurred, whether reversal of the defendant’s convictions is warranted. The case is set for argument Thursday, April 8, 2021, at 10:40am.
