How courts have described this case

  • holding it is a “rule that, when a ruling on a motion in limine is tentative, any error in admitting or excluding evidence is waived”
  • finding no abuse of discretion when trial court found three-and-one-half year old sexual abuse victim competent to testify
  • “Carlson never sought a final decision. He therefore waived any error in excluding that evidence”
  • juror's failure to reveal her knowledge of the subject of sexual abuse at voir dire did not warrant a new trial for a rape defendant because such knowledge would not have supported a challenge for cause
  • “when a ruling on a motion in limine is tentative, any error in admitting or excluding evidence is waived unless the trial court is given an opportunity to reconsider its ruling”
  • inconsistencies in a child's testimony go to weight and credibility, not competency
