Iowa R. Evid. 5.1008
Functions of the court and jury
Ordinarily, the court determines whether the
proponent has fulfilled the factual conditions for admitting other evidence of the content of a writing,
recording, or photograph under rule 5.1004 or 5.1005. But in a jury trial, the jury determines—in
accordance with rule 5.104(b)—any issue about whether:
a. An asserted writing, recording, or photograph ever existed; or
b. Another one produced at the trial or hearing is the original; or
c. Other evidence of content accurately reflects the content.
