It would probably depend on the court's deciding a motion in limine to do so. Even then, the opposing party would had to have had the opportunity to cross-examine or else it would probably violate due process and fundamental fairness. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.
