Defendant is charged with shooting a store clerk. Eyewitness Ortiz testifies that she saw Defendant fire the shot from across a dark parking lot. On cross-examination, Ortiz admits she was about 90 feet away, it was raining, and she was not wearing her prescription glasses. She denies drinking any alcohol that night and denies telling police that the shooter had a neck tattoo.
Defendant offers a bartender to testify that Ortiz drank two beers an hour before the shooting. Defendant also offers the police body-camera recording in which Ortiz said, "The shooter had a big neck tattoo." Defendant does not have a neck tattoo. The prosecutor then offers Ortiz's earlier 911 call, made minutes after the shooting and before she spoke with police, in which she described Defendant by name. Defendant objects to all extrinsic evidence as collateral and argues that the 911 call is improper bolstering.
How should the court rule? Discuss perception impeachment, contradiction, prior inconsistent statements, collateral limits, and any permissible rehabilitation or substantive use of the 911 call.
