Evidence Fall 2022

Excerpt from United States v. Collier, 527 F.3d 695 (8th Cir. 2008)

This case excerpt (1) illustrates the judge’s inability to exercise 403 discretion over the admission of a Rule 609(a)(2) conviction; (2) provides helpful reminders about the standard of review, definitive rulings, and the scope of cross, and (3) illustrates the principle that evidence can be not-admissible for one purpose but admissible for another.
