Here is our Motion in Limine:
MOTION IN LIMINE TO EXCLUDE DEFENDANT’S EXHIBIT 1 AND ANY FUTURE AND PAST HISTORICAL TESTIMONY THERETO
COMES NOW the Plaintiff, xxxxxxxxxxxx Ministries, by and through the undersigned Karl xxxxxxxx hereby moves for an order for Motion in Limine to Exclude Defendant’s Exhibit 1, xxxxxxxxx Police Department Offense/Incident Report and any witness or testimony thereto and as ground states:
FACTS 1. The Defendant’s Exhibit 1 testifies to happenings outside the four corners of this suit. No one is denying that the testimony is there. We are denying that it has anything to do with this suit therefore has no standing in court as a valid fact for or against this case. It is inadmissible evidence to this case.
2. Testimony of Exhibit 1 could put an unnecessary, unfavorable and derogatory light on the Plaintiff for no good cause. We are concerned with the xxxxxxxxxx Towing’s actions after the Exhibit 1 immaterial fact as to xxxxxxxxxx Towing’s lawful material duties.
3. Any testimony of an expert witness of the Exhibit 1 should not be allowed when it serves to place inadmissible evidence before a jury. Linn v. Fossum, 946 So. 2d 1032,1038 (Fla.2006); also see Erwin v. Todd, 699 So. 2d 275, 277 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997); Riggins v. Mariner Boat Works, Inc., 545 So. 2d 430, 432 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1989) are a line of cases that “prohibits the use of expert testimony merely to serve as a conduit to place otherwise inadmissible evidence before a jury.”
4. Any Defendants’ experts or witnesses who would attempt to discredit the Plaintiff, placing otherwise inadmissible evidence before a jury and attacking their credibility and character through speculative testimony. The crux of these possible experts or witnesses’ testimony is that Plaintiff, in regards to any non-material historical facts, could be used as inconsistent, not credible, and, exaggerating, so that Plaintiff would not be believed.
5. Such testimony would be wholly improper and would be inadmissible for five (5) reasons:
