Everyday Evidence: A Practical Approach – Impeachment
Length: 1:29
FRE 611 addresses witnesses and establishes the manner and scope of witness testimony during cross examination. While FRE 611 governs the form of cross examination questions, many other evidentiary rules also impact your ability to impeach witnesses. Prosecutors must understand the legal doctrine behind the rules governing impeachment. This presentation will show attendees how to begin their inquiry by developing a deeper basis of knowledge concerning prior untruthful acts under FRE 608(b), prior convictions under FRE 609, and prior inconsistent statements under FRE 613.
- Prior untruthful acts. FRE 608(b).
- Prior conviction. FRE 609
- Prior inconsistent statement. FRE 613.
- Bias, prejudice or motive. Common law.
- Defects in Capacity to Observe, Recall or Relate. Common Law.
- Impeachment by Omission.
- Impeachment on a non-collateral matter.
