Redaction must not significantly alter the meaning of a defendant statement

Evidence

The fact that the defendant is permitted under our precedents to explain that information from or about the polygraph examination motivated him or her to make the statements does not dilute the requirement that redacting a statement must not alter significantly the meaning of the defendant’s actual statement in order to be introduced over an objection based on OEC 402 or OEC 403. — Ruggero J.
