Section R7-2-715. Evidence

A.      All witnesses shall testify under oath or affirmation.

B.       The hearing body shall have the power to administer oaths and affirmations.

C.      All parties shall have the right to present such oral or docu- mentary evidence and to conduct such cross-examination as may be required for a full and fair disclosure of the facts.

D.      The hearing body shall receive evidence, rule upon offers of proof, and exclude evidence the hearing body has determined to be irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious.

E.       Unless otherwise ordered by the hearing body, documentary evidence shall be limited in size when folded to 8 1/2 by 11 inches. The submitting party shall identify documentary exhibits by number or letter and party and furnish a copy of each exhibit to each party present. One additional copy shall be furnished to the hearing body unless the hearing body oth- erwise directs. When evidence offered by any party appears in a larger work, containing other information, the party shall plainly designate the portion offered. If the evidence offered is so voluminous as would unnecessarily encumber the record, the book, paper, or document shall not be received in evidence but may be marked for identification and, if properly authenti- cated, the designated portion may be read into or photocopied for the record. All documentary evidence offered shall be sub- ject to appropriate and timely objection.
