A hearing is much less formal than a trial with the judge having more discretion. My experience with them is that the judge usually will get to the heart of the issue very quickly - it drives them nuts when some wannabe Perry Mason wants to turn it into the trial of the century. I am sure it was torture to him to watch Orly turn his hearing into a circus.

Are the rules of evidence the same for a hearing as they are for a trial?
@Georgia Code - Evidence - Title 24
@Georgia Code - Evidence - Title 24, Section 24-1-1
As used in this title, the term:
(1) 'Competent evidence' means evidence which is admissible.
(2) 'Cumulative evidence' means evidence which is additional to other evidence already obtained.
(3) 'Direct evidence' means evidence which immediately points to the question at issue.
(4) 'Indirect evidence' or 'circumstantial evidence' means evidence which only tends to establish the issue by proof of various facts, sustaining by their consistency the hypothesis claimed.
(5) 'Preponderance of evidence' means that superior weight of evidence upon the issues involved, which, while not enough to free the mind wholly from a reasonable doubt, is yet sufficient to incline a reasonable and impartial mind to one side of the issue rather than to the other.
(6) 'Presumptive evidence' means evidence which consists of inferences drawn by human experience from the connection of cause and effect and from observations of human conduct.
(7) 'Sufficient evidence' means evidence which is satisfactory for the purpose.

1 A It's the birth certificate that I downloaded from
2 the WhiteHouse.gov website. It's a birth certificate
3 professed to be of Barack Hussein Obama II.

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

@Georgia Code - Evidence - Title 24, Section 24-2-4Where either party introduces part of a document or record, the opposite party may read so much of the balance as is relevant.

Kind of hard to do that if you're not in court, isn't it.

@III. Welden’s CaseA It's the birth certificate that I downloaded from
2 the WhiteHouse.gov website. It's a birth certificate
3 professed to be of Barack Hussein Obama II.
4 Q And do you see an item on line 8 -- I'm sorry,
5 excuse me -- on item 11. Can you read that?
6 A Yes, item 11 says the birthplace is Kenya, East
7 Africa.
8 Q And that's referring to --
9 A That is the birthplace of the father.

@Georgia Code - Evidence - Title 24, Section 24-3-2When, in a legal investigation, information, conversations, letters and replies, and similar evidence are facts to explain conduct and ascertain motives, they shall be admitted in evidence not as hearsay but as original evidence.

I would be concerned if I were Jablonski.

However, as you are also aware, Mr. Jablonski did attempt to "back door" into the record two (2) electronic images of Defendant Obama's purported "long form" and "short form" birth certificates by attaching same to a letter addressed and emailed to you on January 25, 2012, the day before the trial, essentially informing you that he and his client would not appear for trial.
