The court's holding and decision will be displayed here.

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

De Georgia (D) stole a car from the Hertz Corporation in New York. It was eventually recovered in Tuscon, Arizona 70 days later. D confessed in writing that he stole the car. The issue at trial was the corroboration of that out of court confession. An employee for Hertz took the stand and testified about the computer records kept by the company and his access to them and their query telling him that the car was last rented on June 30, 1968, and that there were no other records for its rental. D objected on grounds of hearsay. D was convicted and appealed.
