RULE 5-103. RULINGS ON EVIDENCE
Committee note: This Rule is not intended to preclude the making of objections or offers of proof by a motion in limine. See Prout v. State, 311 Md. 348 (1988), for special circumstances when an offer of proof is not required after the court has made a pretrial ruling excluding evidence. This Rule is also not intended to change the existing standard for harmless error in a criminal case. See Dorsey v. State, 276 Md. 638 (1976).
Cross reference: See Rule 4-325 regarding plain error in jury instructions; see also Rule 8-131 regarding scope of appellate review.
Source: This Rule is derived in part from F.R.Ev. 103.
