Bad character is typically excluded from admissible evidence but can be introduced during sentencing.
In this case, the defense opened the door for the financial crimes to be admitted as evidence and why the state is questioning AM about how he stole millions from vulnerable, injured, clients.
At the conclusion of today's trial, DH complained to the court about AM's character being denigrated but Judge Newman was quick to respond that the credibility of a witness in any trial is an issue.
IMO, this is about the credibility of the witness where AM is a proven liar about very important matters that caused him to lose his law license and you should not believe him about not killing his wife and son either. MOO
