Rick filed a civil antitrust suit against Zippy’s after the restaurant raised the price of its loco moco. During his case-in-chief, Rick testified about the personal hardship, hunger, and psychic loss he suffered when the price of his favorite food increased fifty percent overnight. As part of its defense, Zippy’s called Rick’s neighbor, Melody. Melody testified that she has known Rick for more than twenty years and, in her opinion, Rick “has a very untruthful character.” On cross-examination, Rick’s lawyer asked Melody: “Are you aware that when Rick received a $5,000 check from his auto insurance company, he returned the check because he knew the payment was an error?” Plaintiff’s counsel objects. Does defense counsel’s question elicit admissible evidence?
