In People v. Fritz (2007) 153 Cal.App.4th 949, the appellate court held it was improper for the trial court to allow the prosecutor to offer into evidence the defendant's statement to officers denying any history of petty thefts and then to impeach that statement. This was because the statement was relevant only to the prosecutor's plan to impeach it, as the defendant did not testify and the trial court had ruled the evidence of his priors inadmissible under section 1101. (Fritz, supra, 153 Cal.App.4th at p. 956.)
