Re: written statement
Written statements, notarized or not, are not admissible as evidence in place of live testimony by a witness. They may be used in cross-examination in some instances, but cannot take the place of a witness at trial.
No, a judge cannot properly accept them as evidence if they are attempted to be used in place of a witness' testimony.
