Mr. Lifter was on trial for shoplifting at the Community Liquor Mart. The alleged crime took place at 7:00 pm. Mr. Lifter's defense was that he mistakenly placed the pint of Boonies Strawberry Hill wine in his pocket and forgot to pay for it when he paid for his beef jerky at the counter.

[1] The prosecution seeks to introduce the several times Mr. Lifter had stolen liquor from Community Liquor Mart before this incident.

[2] The prosecution wants to produce a witness who will testify that every evening at 8:00 pm, Mr. Lifter has a cigarette and drinks a pint of Boonies Strawberry Hill in his garage.

[3] Mr. Lifter took the stand on his own behalf. He testified he took the Boonies Strawberry Hill by mistake. The prosecutor wants to impeach his credibility by using his most recent felony conviction for theft.

Assume the felony conviction for theft is one of moral turpitude and is authenticated.
