“due regard to the importance of presenting the testimony of witnesses orally in open court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[i]t is clear to us that under none of the exceptions appearing in Rule 32(a)(3)[E] could the depositions of Salsman or Henry Witt have been used in lieu of their oral testimony, even if the depositions had been offered, which they definitely were not. So, under the circumstances, if the depositions of Salsman or Henry Witt had been offered into evidence under Rule 32(a)(3) in lieu of their oral testimony, it would have been error to receive them. A fortiori, it was also error for the trial court to use the depositions in question in connection with its findings.”
