Summary
This court transcript from August 10, 2022, captures a sidebar discussion where a judge rules to exclude evidence of a single sexual harassment allegation due to a lack of a pattern or proffer of falsity. Following the ruling, two attorneys, Ms. Pomerantz and Ms. Sternheim, discuss a planned line of questioning for a witness. Ms. Sternheim clarifies her intent is not to ask about the witness's ex-husband, but rather to ask if the witness had requested a friend to plant drugs on the father of her child.

Key Quotes (2)
"On the sexual harassment claim, I'm not going to allow it if there were a pattern of repeated allegations of the same kind, even if you didn't have a proffer as to falsity, then it would be a closer call, but in the absence of any proffer as to falsity and in light of the one instance of sexual harassment, I won't allow it."Source
