Practice question

A qualified custodian knows the regular system, sources and entry practice but did not personally type the particular entry. Must the court reject the Rule8 foundation solely for that reason?
  1. Every custodian is necessarily unqualified
  2. Yes; only the typist may ever testify
  3. Only the opposing party can authenticate business records
  4. Typing creates exclusive testimonial rights
