• explaining that, because theft “is the embodiment of deceitfulness,” it is an “infamous crime” for purposes of impeaching a witness
• with motion in limine, “[i]f trial judge admits the questionable evidence, the party who made the motion ordinarily must object at the time the evidence is actually offered to preserve his objection for appellate review.”
