16. No need to play the tape - the jury had it read to them

The issue was whether it was necessary to actually play the tape or if her statements read to her show the inconsistency and it did. The issue was if she did not agree to the deposition, the tape would also impeach her. The point was made to the jury - she gave different answers at different times. The judge would not let the tape be played - it was not the defenses decision.

What was the "inconsistency," and how significant was it? Hoyt Jun 2013 #13
