It all depends on the court you are in. Attorneys can use case law from other states to suggest the admissibility of this type of evidence, but it falls on the state law you are in and what the judge will allow. Best suggestion to all is check with the local courts and see what the criminal and civil judges allow in their courts. Depends is correct. It all depends on the court you are in.

Look at P.C. 1054.1, it pertains to information provided to the defendant by the Prosecuting Attorney. It's regarding their discovery obligations. Look at P.C. 1054.3 it pertains to the information provided to the prosecuting attorney and its rules are imposed upon the D.A. in that section. So if the information was obtained by the Defense Investigator from the Defendant or any percipient witness PRIOR to the D.A. providing the discovery (because they're oh so fast...NOT) then I don't see this section applying. Now obviously impersonation and pretext are two different balls of wax. The whole myspace case is a MESS. It should have been dismissed at the pleading stages, and that Judge if he doesn't rule on the Defense motion to dismiss the Indictment (filed during trial) the appeal is going to be ripe.
