P asked W what happened to her car. P sues D for conversion. P's counsel then asks W whether he told P on June 1 that D took the car. D's counsel objects and contends that P cannot impeach her own witness. Briefly explain whether the objection should be sustained or overruled.
P then takes the stand.
P's counsel asks P what W said to her on June 1. D's counsel objects that such evidence is barred by the collateral evidence rule. Briefly explain whether the objection should be sustained or overruled. P testifies that on June 1 W said that D took the car. D objects on grounds of hearsay and moves to strike P's testimony.
