Unlawfully taking or damaging personal property
Sec. 8. If the defendant in a case:
(1) is charged with unlawfully taking or detaining
personal property or having done damage to
personal property; and
(2) defends the charge in the defendant's pleading by
asserting that the defendant is the executor,
administrator, guardian, or heir, and, as such, has
taken or detained the property or has done the acts
charged;
a person is not competent to testify who would not be competent if
the defendant were the complainant. However, when the person
complaining cannot testify, the defendant shall also be excluded.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.41.
