I have a case where the court suppressed the defendant's confession. We appealed it and lost, so I cannot use it in my case in chief, but as you know, I can use it for impeachment purposes. My question is this: if this guy takes the stand (believe it or not, it is a realistic possibility because he keeps writing letters to the judge indicating that he will testify) should I first do the standard impeachment using the transcript and THEN play the pertinent part of the recording? My understanding is that it is necessary to have the statements in evidence in order to play the recording. What do you think? Also, your newsletters are extremely informative and useful. Keep up the good work! I have a question regarding an issue raised in this article that relates to an upcoming trial of mine and I wanted to get your thoughts.
