question

Jones is arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, marijuana. The prosecution wishes to introduce a videotape from a pot party Jones left just before his arrest. The recording shows Jones exhaling a giant cloud of smoke and stating, "that's really great weed, man." Jones testifies on his own behalf, "I'm an honest person. I absolutely did not drive erratically." On cross-examination, the prosecutor asks, "Isn't it true you lied in your divorce trial last year?" If Jones' attorney objects, the court will likely hold the prosecutor's question is

choices

  1. Admissible because the question goes to Jones' credibility as a witness.
  2. Admissible, so long as the prosecutor produces a certified copy of the conviction.
  3. Not admissible, because specific instances of conduct cannot be proved with extrinsic evidence.
  4. Not admissible because it is irrelevant.
