1104 Use of official commentary

Here's a plain English summary:

Kentucky's evidence rules come with official notes that explain what the rules mean and why they were written that way. Judges and lawyers can look at these notes for help understanding a confusing rule.

However, these notes are just a guide, not the law itself. Courts don't have to follow what the notes say. A judge can look at the commentary for background, but can still interpret a rule differently if that makes more sense for the case in front of them.

In short, the notes are helpful reference material, but they don't control how a court must rule. The actual rule text is what matters most.
