Document presumption: courts must accept contents and handwriting unless rebutted, and admit unstamped documents if otherwise admissible. When a document produced, seized, or received from abroad is tendered by the prosecution against a person or joint accused, the court shall, unless the contrary is proved, presume the truth of its contents and that signatures or parts alleged to be in a person's handwriting are in that handwriting, and shall admit the document in evidence even if not duly stamped, so long as it is otherwise admissible.
