In which rebuttal evidence should not have been admitted?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Coombs, 1977 CanLII 288 (BC CA):

Now in every one of those of the cases I have cited in which it was held that rebuttal evidence should not have been admitted the fact or facts testified to were what I may call part of the narrative of events that were relevant to the proceeding, were part of the res gestae. See for example Regina v. Michael, the circumstances in which I have already outlined.
