Attorney objects to the introduction of this evidence

Reference no: EM13167372

Maryanne is a 72-year old retired junior high school teacher. She commenced an action against Martin, a licensed stockbroker, claiming that he had deceived her into investing her life savings by fraudulently claiming that he would greatly enrich her via a series of stock transactions. Martin has no history of disciplinary actions or lawsuits against him with respect to stock transactions initiated by him. Martin is generally known as an honest person by his friends, colleagues, and clients.

At trial, Martin’s counsel attempts to introduce evidence, via the testimony of another stockbroker who works with Martin, that Martin “has an excellent reputation for honesty in the business community.”

If Maryanne’s attorney objects to the introduction of this evidence, it is most likely that:

A. The objection will be overruled because character evidence is admissible in civil cases

B. The objection will be overruled because Martin’s character is directly in issue in this case

C. The objection will be sustained because the testimony is hearsay

D. The objection will be sustained because evidence of Martin’s character is not admissible

E. None of the above.
