Statute Text
to 138.680, events occurring at the trial of petitioner may be shown by
a duly authenticated transcript, record or portion thereof. If such transcript
or record cannot be produced, the affidavit of the judge who presided at the
trial setting forth the facts occurring at the trial shall be admissible in
evidence when relevant. When necessary to establish any ground for relief
specified in ORS 138.530, the petitioner may allege and prove matters in
contradiction of the record of the trial of the petitioner. When the record is
so contradicted, the defendant may introduce in evidence any evidence which was
admitted in evidence at the trial to support the contradicted matter and may
call witnesses whose testimony at such trial supported the contradicted matter.
Whenever such evidence or such witnesses cannot be produced by defendant for
any reason which is sufficient in the opinion of the court, such parts of the
duly authenticated record of the trial as support the contradicted matter may
be introduced in evidence by the defendant. A duly authenticated record of the
testimony of any witness at the trial may be introduced in evidence to impeach
the credibility of any testimony by the same witness in the hearing upon the petition.
