State of Tennessee v. Gregory Dunnorm - Concurring

I concur with the majority opinion, but I believe that neither Rule 613 nor Rule 608, Tenn. R. Evid., allowed use of extrinsic evidence of the defendant’s lying on the affidavit of income. As the majority opinion notes, Rule 608 allows a party to cross-examine a witness about specific instances of conduct for the purpose of attacking the witness’s credibility, but it bars extrinsic evidence of such conduct if the witness denies that it occurred. I also believe, though, that such an exclusion applied to Rule 613 in this case.
