KRE 105: Limited admissibility
Where this section sits in the code
- KENTUCKY RULES OF EVIDENCE ----- Legislative Research Commission Note (7/1/92). Although denominated "rules," the elements of the Kentucky Rules of Evidence were enacted as statutes by the Kentucky General Assembly. See 1990 Ky. Acts ch. 88; 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 324. Originally codified as KRS Chapter 422A in 1990, the Kentucky Rules of Evidence were renumbered by the Reviser of Statutes, effective July 1, 1992, pursuant to 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 324, sec. 34. By an order dated May 12, 1992, the Kentucky Supreme Court "adopt[ed] so much of the Kentucky Rules of Evidence as enacted by HB 241 [1992 Ky. Acts ch. 324] as comes within the rule making power of the Court, pursuant to Ky. Const. sec. 116."
(a) When evidence which is admissible as to one (1) party or for one (1) purpose but
not admissible as to another party or for another purpose is admitted, the court,
upon request, shall restrict the evidence to its proper scope and admonish the jury
accordingly. In the absence of such a request, the admission of the evidence by the
trial judge without limitation shall not be a ground for complaint on appeal, except
under the palpable error rule.
(b) When evidence described in subdivision (a) above is excluded, such exclusion shall
not be a ground for complaint on appeal, except under the palpable error rule, unless
the proponent expressly offers the evidence for its proper purpose or limits the offer
of proof to the party against whom the evidence is properly admissible.
