This makes zero sense, unless the prosecutor intends to have the participant in this tape testify about what he heard in the conversation at the Chicago restaurant. That would be admissible.

THEN, if the Defendant sought to claim that the testimony was not true, the tape would become evidence that the Defendant was lying. In short, this may be a tactic to force the defense to put this tape in, or concede the criminal conversation.

Only if this is that kind of jujitsu move, does it make sense. I need to see a better description than NewsMax has provided here, to know whether that is the case. If so, NewsMax has gotten its knickers in a twist over a trial tactic, rather than a critical evidentiary concession.

Thanx. I had this feeling there was something else going on. Newsmax has been the definition of anti-W hysteria for the past several months, if not longer.

Back to the salt mines.

LOL! Only after the fact did I realize that it was a NewsWhacks story ... an automatic whack on the knuckles for me, and an auto-ignore on the article itself.
