Bingo! I was having a brain-fart and couldn’t come up with the word. Longhand, indeed!
Can a lawyer ask a witness, whom is testifying about a specific time, the “state” of an alleged suspect with whom she had infrequent contact, knowledge about the same alleged suspect that she had gleaned from news media after the fact?
I don’t understand why the Judge would overrule the objection. She had no prior knowledge of the order of protection, diversion program.
