Practice question
A party claims that an improper statement admitted for the opponent entitles it to introduce a different item already found constitutionally excluded. No applicable waiver or exception is established. Can the phrase curative reply alone overcome that exclusion?
- Yes, it automatically repeals every exclusion.
- Yes, any prior evidentiary error forfeits all protections.
- Yes, the responding party chooses the admissibility rules.
- No; a claimed corrective purpose does not alone displace the valid constitutional exclusion.
- No; no party may ever explain misleading evidence through any lawful means.
