Every person is competent to be a witness unless these rules provide otherwise. But in a civil case, state law governs the witness’s competency regarding a claim or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision.
每个人都有作为证人的能力,除非本证据规则另有规定。但是在民事案件中,如果州法就起诉或者辩护规定了适用的裁决规则,则证人的能力由州法调整。
Rule 602 –Need for Personal Knowledge
A witness may testify to a matter only if evidence is introduced sufficient to support a finding that the witness has personal knowledge of the matter. Evidence to prove personal knowledge may consist of the witness’s own testimony. This rule does not apply to a witness’s expert testimony under Rule 703.
只有在提出的证据足以支持认定证人就某事项具有亲身知识的情况下,证人才可以就该事项作证。证明亲身知识的证据可以包括证人自己的证言。本条规则并不适用于专家证人根据规则703所作出的证言。
Rule 603 – Oath or Affirmation to Testify

Before testifying, a witness must give an oath or affirmation to testify truthfully. It must be in a form designed to impress that duty on the witness’s conscience.

译员必须具有资格,并宣誓或者郑重声明将如实翻译。
Rule 605 –Judge’s Competency as a Witness
The presiding judge may not testify as a witness at the trial. A party need not object to preserve the issue.
主持审判的法官不得在该审判中作为证人作证。当事人无需提出异议来留存此问题。
Rule 606 –Juror’s Competency as a Witness
(a) At the Trial. A juror may not testify as a witness before the other jurors at the trial. If a juror is called to testify, the court must give a party an opportunity to object outside the jury’s presence.
(b) During an Inquiry into the Validity of a Verdict or Indictment.
(a)审判时。在审判时,陪审员不得在其他陪审员面前作为证人作证。如果陪审员被传唤作证,法院必须给予当事人在陪审团不在场的情况下提出异议的机会。
(b)调查陪审团裁决或者起诉书有效期间。
(1) Prohibited Testimony or Other Evidence. During an inquiry into the validity of a verdict or indictment, a juror may not testify about any statement made or incident that occurred during the jury’s deliberations; the effect of anything on that juror’s or another juror’s vote; or any juror’s mental processes concerning the verdict or indictment. The court may not receive a juror’s affidavit or evidence of a juror’s statement on these matters.
(1)禁止的证言或者其他证据。在调查陪审团裁决或者起诉书的有效性期间,陪审员不得就陪审团评议期间作出的任何陈述或者发生的任何事件作证,或者就影响该陪审员或者其他陪审员的投票的任何事情作证,或者就该陪审员与裁决或者起诉书有关的思想过程作证。就这些事项,法院不得接受陪审员的宣誓书或者关于陪审员的陈述的证据。
(2) Exceptions. A juror may testify about whether:
(A) extraneous prejudicial information was improperly brought to the jury’s attention;
(B) an outside influence was improperly brought to bear on any juror; or
(C) a mistake was made in entering the verdict on the verdict form.
(2)例外。陪审员可以就下列事项作证。
(A)是否有无关的有害信息不当地引起了陪审团的注意;
(B)是否有外部影响不当地影响了任何陪审员;或者

Rule 607 –Who May Impeach a Witness
Any party, including the party that called the witness, may attack the witness’s credibility.
任何当事人,包括传唤证人的当事人,都可以攻击证人的可信性。
Rule 608 – A Witness’s Character for Truthfulness or Untruthfulness
规则608 证人诚实与否的品性
(a) Reputation or Opinion Evidence. A witness’s credibility may be attacked or supported by testimony about the witness’s reputation for having a character for truthfulness or untruthfulness, or by testimony in the form of an opinion about that character. But evidence of truthful character is admissible only after the witness’s character for truthfulness has been attacked.
(a)声望或者意见证据。可以用关于证人诚实与否至品性的声望证言或者关于该品性的意见形式的证言,来攻击和支持证人可信性,但是,只有在证人诚实品性受到攻击后,关于诚实品性的证据才具可采性。
(b) Specific Instances of Conduct. Except for a criminal conviction under Rule 609, extrinsic evidence is not admissible to prove specific instances of a witness’s conduct in order to attack or support the witness’s character for truthfulness. But the court may, on cross-examination, allow them to be inquired into if they are probative of the character for truthfulness or untruthfulness of:
(b)行为具体实例。除规则609规定的犯罪定罪判决外,外部证据不可采来证明证人的行为具体实例,以攻击或者支持证人的诚实品性。但是,在交叉询问中,如果行为具体实例对于下列人员诚实与否的品性具有证明作用,法院可以允许对它们进行调查:
(1) the witness; or
(2) another witness whose character the witness being cross-examined has testified about.
By testifying on another matter, a witness does not waive any privilege against self-incrimination for testimony that relates only to the witness’s character for truthfulness.
(1)证人;或者
(2)正在接受交叉询问的证人曾就其品性作证的另一证人。
当就其他事项作证时,如果证言仅与证人诚实性品性有关,证人并没有放弃反对自我归罪的特免权。
Rule 609 – Impeachment by Evidence of a Criminal Conviction
规则609 使用刑事定罪判决证据进行弹劾
(a) In General. The following rules apply to attacking a witness’s character for truthfulness by evidence of a criminal conviction:
(1) for a crime that, in the convicting jurisdiction, was punishable by death or by imprisonment for more than one year, the evidence:

(1)对于在作出判决的司法辖区,应判处死刑或者1年以上监禁的犯罪而言;
(A) must be admitted, subject to Rule 403, in a civil case or in a criminal case in which the witness is not a defendant; and
(B) must be admitted in a criminal case in which the witness is a defendant, if the probative value of the evidence outweighs its prejudicial effect to that defendant; and
(A)在民事案件或者证人不是被告的刑事案件中,在遵守规则403的前提下,必须采纳该证据;以及
(B)在证人是被告的刑事案件中,在该证据的证明价值超过其对被告的损害效果的情况下,必须采纳该证据;以及
(2) for any crime regardless of the punishment, the evidence must be admitted if the court can readily determine that establishing the elements of the crime required proving — or the witness’s admitting — a dishonest act or false statement.
(2)对于任何犯罪,无论其刑罚如何,如果法院可以轻易确定,证明该犯罪要件需要证明或者证人承认不诚实行为或者虚假陈述,则必须采纳该证据。
(b) Limit on Using the Evidence After 10 Years. This subdivision (b) applies if more than 10 years have passed since the witness’s conviction or release from confinement for it, whichever is later. Evidence of the conviction is admissible only if:
(b)10年后使用证据的限制。如果自证人被定罪之日或者证人从该定罪判决判定的监禁中被释放之日起算,无论哪个日期,以迟者为准,已逾10年,则适用(b)款。只有在下列情况下,定罪判决证据才可采:
(1) its probative value, supported by specific facts and circumstances, substantially outweighs its prejudicial effect; and
(2) the proponent gives an adverse party reasonable written notice of the intent to use it so that the party has a fair opportunity to contest its use.
(1)由具体事实和情况支持的定罪判决之证明价值严重超过了其损害结果;并且
(2)证据提出者就使用该证据的意图对对方当事人进行了合理的书面通知,为对方提供了就该证据的使用进行反驳的公平机会。

(2)根据无罪认定,对该定罪已经适用赦免、撤销或者适用其他相当程序。
(d) Juvenile Adjudications. Evidence of a juvenile adjudication is admissible under this rule only if:
(d)未成年人判决。只有在下列情况下,关于未成年人判决的证据根据本条证据规则才具有可采性:
(1) it is offered in a criminal case;
(2) the adjudication was of a witness other than the defendant;
(3) an adult’s conviction for that offense would be admissible to attack the adult’s credibility; and
(4) admitting the evidence is necessary to fairly determine guilt or innocence.
(e) Pendency of an Appeal. A conviction that satisfies this rule is admissible even if an appeal is pending. Evidence of the pendency is also admissible.
(1)该证据是在刑事案件中提出的;

(b)交叉询问的范围。交叉询问不应当超越直接询问的主题及影响证人可信性之事项。法院可以允许像在直接询问中那样对额外事项进行查问。

Rule 612 – Writing Used to Refresh a Witness’s Memory
(a) Scope. This rule gives an adverse party certain options when a witness uses a writing to refresh memory:

Unless 18 U.S.C. § 3500 provides otherwise in a criminal case, an adverse party is entitled to have the writing produced at the hearing, to inspect it, to cross-examine the witness about it, and to introduce in evidence any portion that relates to the witness’s testimony. If the producing party claims that the writing includes unrelated matter, the court must examine the writing in camera, delete any unrelated portion, and order that the rest be delivered to the adverse party. Any portion deleted over objection must be preserved for the record.
(b)对方当事人的选项;删除不相关的事项。除非《美国法典》第18编第3500条就刑事案件另有规定,对方当事人有权要求在听证时出示该书写品,有权对该书写品进行检查,有权就该书写品对该证人进行交叉询问,并且有权把其中与证人证言有关的任何部分提出作为证据。如果出示该书写作品的当事人宣称该书写品包含无关事项,则法院必须对该书写品进行秘密审查,删除任何无关部分,并命令把剩余部分交给对方当事人。不顾异议而删除的部分必须留存在卷。
