Pretrial Motions in limine

Just before the trial, the Defense filed a flurry of "in Limine" motions (preliminary motions dealing with the admissibility of evidence) seeking to exclude large parts of the Plaintiffs' case, including expert witness Barbara Forrest and any material on the history of "Of Pandas and People" or "intelligent design."
