Start to end period of a felony

the legal term

Res gestae (Latin: "things done") is a term found in substantive and procedural American jurisprudence and English law. In American substantive law, it refers to the start to end period of a felony. In American procedural law, it refers to a former exception to the hearsay rule for statements made spontaneously or as part of an act. The English and Canadian version of res gestae is similar, but is still recognized as a traditional exception to the hearsay rule.

In certain felony murder statutes, res gestae is a term defining the overall start to end sequence of the underlying felony. Generally, a felony's res gestae is considered terminated when the suspect has achieved a position of relative safety from law enforcement.

Under the Federal Rules of Evidence, res gestae may also be used to demonstrate that certain character evidence, otherwise excludable under the provisions of Rule 404, is permissible, as the events in question are part of the "ongoing narrative", or sequence of events that are necessary to define the action at hand.

Res gestae is also used to refer to those facts or things done which form the basis or gravamen for a legal action. Res gestae is also used in the context of the doctrine of respondeat superior, or the law of vicarious liability. Particularly, res gestae refers to time, place, and in the interest of an employer. Res Gestae is a publication of the Indiana State Bar Association. Res Gestae is R. G. Collingwood's term for the world of human affairs (as separated from the natural world) in his The Idea Of History (1946), which deals with the philosophy of history.
