MBE Question of the Day
The plaintiff sued the defendant for damages that the plaintiff incurred when a badly rotted limb fell from a curbside tree in front of the defendant’s home, and hit the plaintiff. The defendant claimed that the tree was on city property and thus was the responsibility of the city. At trial, the plaintiff offered testimony that a week after the accident, the defendant had cut the tree down with a chainsaw. The offered evidence is:
(A) Inadmissible, because there is a policy to encourage safe precautions.
(B) Inadmissible, because it is irrelevant to the condition of the tree at the time of the accident.
(C) Admissible, to show the tree was on the defendant’s property.
(D) Admissible, to show the tree was in a rotted condition.
