Kly and DT, under what circumstances is the prosecution permitted rebuttal once it has rested?
Rebuttal is permitted after the defense rests and is limited to refute only that testimony presented by the defense. It can not add to the prosecution's case in chief. Once the prosecution rests after rebuttal, the defense can provide rebuttal, limited only to refuting the testimony of the prosecution's witness. As you can see, the scope of rebuttal becomes funneled.
