- Yes, he seems more reliable as a witness now than when he was put on the stand based on the fact that he was not influenced into giving any kind of fabrication of facts but due to his stand to tell the truth.
- Payne vs. Tennessee is known to be a 1991 case that decided that a testimony given in the form of a victim impact statement can be taken in or admissible in any kind of sentencing stage of any trial and also in death penalty cases. I believe it is good or justified.
