RULE ER 103
                  RULINGS ON EVIDENCE

(a)  Effect of Erroneous Ruling.  Error may not be predicated
upon a ruling which admits or excludes evidence unless a
substantial right of the party is affected, and

(1)  Objection.  In case the ruling is one admitting evidence,
a timely objection or motion to strike is made, stating the
specific ground of objection, if the specific ground was not
apparent from the context; or

(2)  Offer of Proof.  In case the ruling is one excluding evidence,
the substance of the evidence was made known to the court by
offer or was apparent from the context within which questions
were asked.

	(b)  Record of Offer and Ruling.  The court may add any
other or further statement which shows the character of the evidence,
the form in which it was offered, the objection made, and the ruling
thereon.  The court may direct the making of an offer in question and
answer form.

	(c)  Hearing of Jury.  In jury cases, proceedings shall be
conducted, to the extent practicable, so as to prevent inadmissible
evidence from being suggested to the jury by any means, such as
making statements or offers of proof or asking questions in the hearing
of the jury.

	(d)  Errors Raised for the First Time on Review.
[Reserved ? See RAP 2.5(a).]
