First, on December 1, 2011, amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence became effective. These amendments were implemented as part of the restyling project that has affected other sets of rules. Second, the Fifth Circuit issued opinions on a number of significant evidence-related issues, including sufficiency of evidence, hearsay, Miranda, the admission of evidence of other acts under Rule 404, and expert testimony.
