United States v. Hammers, 942 F.3d 1001 (10th Cir. 2019)

This case illustrates the application of the statement against interest hearsay exception in the context of a suicide note. The case also references the residual hearsay exception at Rule 807 - although we are not studying that rule it will be helpful to see an example of how a court incorporates it into its hearsay analysis.
