Rule 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 appears of record, 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. It 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.
