limited admissibility

The principle that testimony or exhibits may be admitted into evidence for a restricted purpose.

• Common examples are admitting prior contradictory testimony to impeach a witness but not to establish the truth, and admitting evidence against one party but not another. The trial court must, upon request, instruct the jury properly about the applicable limits when admitting the evidence. Fed. R. Evid. 105. [Cases: Criminal Law 385; Trial 54. C.J.S. Criminal Law §§ 656, 753; Trial § 179.]
