Digest
HB 2348 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow video recording of depositions for elderly or disabled witnesses in criminal cases upon request by either party. It requires that the person operating the recording device be available to testify regarding its authenticity. The bill also allows courts to admit video-recorded depositions into evidence without requiring juries to view them in their entirety, provided the recording is properly authenticated. The bill aims to accommodate vulnerable witnesses while ensuring due process in criminal proceedings​.
