1995The Court of Appeals discussed the possible problems with the use of such syndrome evidence for the purpose of vouching for a victim's credibility, correctly noting that a witness may not testify that another is or is not telling the truth, Steward, 636 N.E.2d at 146-47 ; see Ind.Evidence Rule 704(b), but finding that the defendant waived this claim of error by failing to make a timely objection.
