Section 411 [2] provides that a court must accept as prima facie evidence any written statement signed by a current or former Commission member or official which indicates that a person has or is receiving compensation [2] under the MRCA.
Any person making such a statement which is admitted into evidence may be called upon as a witness for the prosecution. The statement must be provided to the defendant in the proceedings at least 14 days before it is admitted to the court.
