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 1004

or 1005. But in a jury trial, the jury determines—in accordance with Rule 104(b)—any issue

about whether:

(a) an asserted writing, recording, or photograph ever existed;

(b) another one produced at the trial or hearing is the original; or

(c) other evidence of content accurately reflects the content.
