This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated August 10, 2022. It details a legal argument between attorneys Ms. Moe and Ms. Menninger regarding the admissibility of testimony from a witness named 'Jane' about her mother. Specifically, Ms. Moe argues to admit statements where Jane's mother reacted negatively to Jane speaking with a guidance counselor, instructing Jane never to talk about what happens in their house; the Court agrees to admit this with a limiting instruction that it is offered for the effect on the listener, not for the truth of the mother's statements.
