Tuesday audio. No class Monday; g'mar tov to those observing. We will hold the make-up from 12:30-1:45 on Monday, October 2 in RDB 2006.
Continue Introduction to Impeachment, including the assigned problems. We will continue with the remaining five issues for credibility. The first nine (discussed in class) are non-collateral. Five remain. Read FRE 608(a) and (b) with care and try to work out the process through which a witness can be impeached (or accredited) on character for truthfulness. Note that character for truthfulness is one sub-part of witness credibility--the broad issue is "whether the witness is lying," whereas character offers one way to show "he is a liar therefore he is lying."
