I'm very curious about the judicial notice. This came up once before in this committee or perhaps in public safety, I'm not sure which.
My friend Mr. LeBlanc asked you some questions, Mr. Bartlett, concerning judicial notice and some of the things were so obvious--the sun rises in the east and it's dark out at midnight. But there are no statutory presumptions that allow triers of fact to take judicial notice of those very routine things. Why, in your view, would it require a statutory presumption for the courts to take judicial notice of the existence of criminal organizations?
