conditional admissibility

The evidentiary rule that when a piece of evidence is not itself admissible, but is ad-missible if certain other facts make it relevant, the evidence becomes admissible on condition that counsel later introduce the connecting facts.

• If counsel does not satisfy this condition, the opponent is entitled to have the conditionally admitted piece of evidence struck from the record, and to have the judge instruct the jury to disre-gard it. [Cases: Criminal Law 672, 681; Federal Civil Procedure 2014; Trial 51. C.J.S. Criminal Law § 1217; Trial § 177.]
