there are evidence questions in the law school
This is actually a hard one. You can’t get it through 404(a) because the defense didn’t open the door. And it is a “wrong” covered under 404(b) so the specific instance can’t be used to show character. Maybe Dumbledore’s testimony came in under 404(b)(2) intending to show absence of mistake or lack of accident, but none of those seem valid to contradict a self defense claim.
I don’t think 608 is the issue here because it’s about a specific wrong.
SOMEONE TELL ME THE ANSWER!
This was a 608(b) question. The answer was that extrinsic evidence is not admissible to prove specific instance, like you said. You have to take Dumbledore’s word for it.
