Step 1 says the testimony is about the engineer's character for truthfulness, relevant to credibility. That's correct because the witness is testifying about truthfulness, which goes to credibility under FRE 608.
Step 2 mentions FRE 405 allowing reputation or opinion for character evidence. Wait, but FRE 405(a) sa... |

Step 1: The witness is testifying about the engineer's character for truthfulness, which is relevant to the engineer's credibility as a witness.
This step is correct. Character for truthfulness (truthfulness, honesty) is relevant to credibility under FRE 608. So, the witness's testimony on that point is relevant.

First, Step 1 says the testimony is about the engineer's character for truthfulness, relevant to credibility. That seems right because when a witness's character for truthfulness is attacked, you can present character evidence to rehabilitate.

Step 1 says the engineer's past conviction is relevant to credibility. That's correct because under Federal Rule of Evidence 608(b), prior convictions can be used to impeach credibility, especially if they relate to dishonesty. The tax fraud is a crime involving deceit, so it's relevant.

Step 1 says the tax fraud conviction is relevant to impeach credibility. Under FRE 608 and 609, prior convictions can be used to attack credibility, but there are rules.

Step 1 says the tax fraud conviction is relevant to impeach credibility. But under FRE 609, only certain crimes are admissible for impeachment. Tax fraud might be a felony (if over a year), but if it's a misdemeanor (under a year), then Rule 609(a)(2) says it can't be used unless it's a crime involving dishonesty or... |
