Question Whether Dunn News Today

Hand. these are not admissions. theyre verbal tirades. certainly they would be prejudicial and they would have been help to the prosecution. but the judge already ruled after the fact they would not come in. the only way they would come into evidence is during a cross-examination of mr. dunn he makes some statement that opens the door. and thats what the prosecution should have been trying to examine him for purposes of opening the door to some comment that he makes and suggests that he has this...
