P1437 REVIEW DENIED Evidence that plaintiff had been married to two women at the same time and had children with a third should have been excluded from the trial of a products liability action against the manufacturer of a truck tire that delaminated, causing a rollover and seriously injuring plaintiff, because its prejudicial effect far outweighs its probative value; a witness may have a special reason to lie about his sex life that does not necessarily cast doubt on the rest of his testimony.CitationWINFRED D v MICHELIN (Bigamous Plaintiff) 165 CA4 1011 [See: EvC 352; Hooser v Superior Court 84 CA4 997, T/AT 12/00; Rufo v Simpson 86 CA4 573, P/AT 3/01] Superior Court 84 CA4 997, T/AT 12/00; Rufo v Simpson 86 CA4 573, P/AT 3/01]
