OPTIONAL: Excerpt from United States v. Crutchfield

This is the “I know everything about iguanas” case that is mentioned in your text. This excerpt covers the court’s reasoning as to why the questions violated 608(b). Read this if you want a clearer picture of the court’s rationale than the text provided, or if, like me, you cannot stand to miss a moment of this train-wreck of a case.
