Georgia Code § 24-10-1008 - Functions of Court and Jury

When the admissibility of other evidence of the contents of writings, recordings, or photographs under the rules of evidence depends upon the fulfillment of a condition of fact, the question of whether the condition has been fulfilled is ordinarily for the court to determine in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 24-1-104; provided, however, that when an issue is raised as to:

(1) Whether the asserted writing, recording, or photograph ever existed;

(2) Whether another writing, recording, or photograph produced at the trial is the original; or

(3) Whether other evidence of the contents correctly reflects the contents,

the issue is for the trier of fact to determine as in the case of other issues of fact.
