2005 Idaho Code - 9-201 — WHO MAY BE WITNESSES -- CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES

                                   TITLE  9
                                   EVIDENCE
                                  CHAPTER 2
                                  WITNESSES
    9-201.  WHO MAY BE WITNESSES -- CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES. All persons,
without exception, otherwise than is specified in the next two (2) sections,
who, having organs of sense, can perceive, and, perceiving, can make known
their perceptions to others, may be witnesses. Therefore, neither parties nor
other persons who have an interest in the event of an action or proceeding are
excluded; nor those who have been convicted of crime; nor persons on account
of their opinions on matters of religious belief; although in every case the
credibility of the witness may be drawn in question, by the manner in which he
testifies, by the character of his testimony, or by evidence affecting his
character for truth, honesty or integrity, or his motives, or by contradictory
evidence; and the jury are the exclusive judges of his credibility.
