For convictions more than 10 years old, admissibility requires which conditions?

• A. The judge's approval
• B. The witness agrees
• C. The case is civil
• D. Probative value outweighs prejudicial effect and notice given

Answer: (D)

This tests how older convictions are handled for impeachment. When a conviction is more than ten years old, it isn’t automatically admissible. The rule requires that its probative value substantially outweigh its prejudicial effect, and that the offering party provides reasonable notice of the intent to use the evidence so the other side has a fair opportunity to contest it. If both conditions are met, the conviction can be admitted despite the age. The other options don’t fit because judge approval alone isn’t enough, the witness’s agreement isn’t required, and the civil-vs-criminal distinction isn’t the determining factor here.
