T. J. received this postcard in the mail. Dear T. J.,

Grandpa and I are having a wonderful time in New York City. Yesterday we took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. As we were eating our lunch near the statue, a seagull swooped down and stole Grandpa's tomato sandwich right out of his hand! We laughed while we watched him gobble the whole thing. We took lots of photos to show you.

Love ya, Buddy!
Grandma

The defendant is charged with the battery of a bouncer at a local tavern. at the trial, the prosecutor introduces evidence that while the bouncer was attempting to question the defendant about her intoxicated demeanor, the defendant committed a battery on the bouncer. the defendant attempts to defend against the charge on the basis of self-defense, insisting that the bouncer used excessive force in stopping her from entering the tavern. the defendant attempts to introduce into evidence an authenticated copy of the tavern records that show that three patrons had written complaints against the bouncer within the past six months for the use of excessive force. the prosecutor objects on the grounds that the records are inadmissible character evidence. should the court sustain the objection?
