"But you contested whether she grew up poor, whether she had a relationship with her mother that wouldn't allow her to -- you put all of those things at issue; made a strong point that every inconsistency is an issue because her credibility is central. Good for the goose, good for the gander."Source

Quote #1
"What is the nature of your objection? So that this witness -- I mean, either it's a prior consistent statement or it's not. I don't understand -- so under the Rule 801(b)(3), right, that's the evidentiary objection. You attacked her credibility on what she testified about her home life. What is the evidentiary objection? Relevance? 403? Tell me."Source
— THE COURT
(The judge pressing Ms. Sternheim to provide a specific legal basis for her objection to the witness's testimony.)
