Doug is charged with robbing a local bank at gunpoint. At a preliminary hearing in the matter, Tiffany takes the stand and states under oath that days before the robbery Doug told her he was having money problems and asked if she had a gun and car he could borrow. At trial, Tiffany is not present because she is in the Bahamas on vacation.
