“'Unless a statute provides otherwise, evidence generally only comes into court through articulation by a witness. That is, except for those things self-proving or matters presumed or notice without proof, there is no anonymous evidence.' Hutchens v. State , 45 Ala. App. 507 , 518, 232 So.2d 687 , 697, cert. denied, 285 Ala. 755 , 232 So.2d 700 (1970), quoted in Pickett v. State , 456 So.2d 330 , 333 (Ala. Cr. App. 1982). "In Lowery v. State , 55 Ala. App. 514 , 518-20, 317 So.2d 365 , 369-70, cert. denied, 294 Ala. 763 , 317 So.2d 372 (1975), this Court noted: " 'We find that ... [ Ala. Code 1975, § 12-21-5,] allows a properly certified copy of hospital records to be admitted into evidence without parol evidence from the custodian, but only, by the explicit terms of that statute, when the original would be admissible.'
