Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not having an alibi doesn’t prove guilt. The burden of proof is on the prosecutor.

The business record exception to hearsay (ORS 40.460). I don't generally use this rule, but when dealing with financial cases with a multitude of documents, it is very useful.
Learned about it at law school and work.

Rule 34 always cite your sources, if in doubt cite

There's a weird phenomeon where if you commit 34 felonies, you become president. I think it's called "trump rule 34"

Or commit a rule 34 felony and people will forgive you and also give you the reigns of power

Evidence at rest stays at rest, while evidence in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

803 the exception to the rule barring hearsay which swallows the rule nearly whole.

How did you come to learn this. What is an example of that playing out?

Honestly not sure when. It's kinda an infamous one, it essentially says you can never introduce hearsay as evidence in a federal court because hearsay is unreliable... unless you fall into one of the 23 exceptions. Or you meet one of the two exceptions in FRE 807.
Tbf a lot make good sense and are just about government written records and making sure you don't need to find some government official who retired 10 years ago.

What do you mean by a rule of evidence? Like something that makes evidence either admissible or inadmissible that people don't take into consideration?

By watching the YSL trial, I learned that in Rico cases in the state of Georgia, hearsay can be introduced if it's between unindicted co-conspirators.
