Presumption as to documents: prosecution-tendered records deemed genuine unless the accused proves otherwise, including handwriting.
When a document produced, seized, or received from abroad is tendered by the prosecution against an accused, the court shall, unless contradicted by that person, presume the truth of its contents and that any signature or handwriting is that of the person it purports to be, including that executed or attested documents were executed or attested by the purported person; the court shall also admit the document in evidence notwithstanding it is not duly stamped if it is otherwise admissible.
