Does the prosecution have grounds to impeach a law partner's credibility and credibility as a witness?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lasky, 600 F.2d 765 (9th Cir. 1979):
The prosecution claims that the recording of the statement without the witnesses' consent was deceitful, therefore bearing on the law partner's credibility and truthfulness as a witness. Although the prosecution's argument does not justify asking a question that he knows is objectionable, we find the error to be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967).
