.........Sustained Objection
4 Cards On This Topic:

Trial court did not impose severe restrictions or on proffered defense testimony, but simply and properly sustained DA objections to specific defects in defense evidence as to personal knowledge and foundation.

No unfairness or deceptiveness in DA's methods on direct exam.

Generally, party not prejudiced by question to which objection sustained.

Given the sweeping nature of Ps' objections and the problematic nature of some of them, trial court’s blanket ruling sustaining them all, without reasoning, was an abuse of discretion.
