Signin
A is incorrect. Although evidence of the beliefs or opinions of a witness on matters of religion is not admissible for the purpose of showing that by reason of their nature the witness's credibility is impaired or enhanced, the witness's membership in the defendant church is not being used for that improper reason. It is being used to ascertain any bias or motive to lie she may have.
B is incorrect. Violations of First Amendment and privacy rights do not lead to the exclusion of evidence in this case. Because the question is relevant and admissible, the witness cannot claim that the answer will violate her rights.
D is incorrect. The evidence is not being used to show the witness's capacity to understand the oath; it is being used to determine her possible motive to lie and her possible bias.
