Re: tape recorded conversations
Admissibility is for the judge to decide. You can always try. If it was NOT done over the telephone and it contradicts what someone said under oath, it may not be admissible, but it will probably be heard. Two different things.
Re: tape recorded conversations
Whether a tape-recorded conversation is admissible has nothing to do with whether the other party is lying. Just as when a person testifies in person and lies, it is up to the judge (if a trial to the court) or jury to determine whether the witness is lying.
Admissibility is based on whether the recording can be authenticated, meaning that the recording is accurate and unedited, and the voices can be identified.
