Is a Defendant's criminal rap sheet admissible to impeach the Defendant?

actually used to impeach defendant, including convictions for misdemeanors such as prostitution and drug possession. The trial court had previously concluded some of the prior convictions reflected in the rap sheet were not crimes of moral turpitude, and therefore could not be used to impeach defendant. (See e.g., People v. Castro (1985) 38 Cal.3d 301, 317 [simple possession of heroin not a crime of moral turpitude].) The rap sheet as an unredacted whole was not admissible.
