A motion in limine is, by definition, a motion made "[o]n or at the threshold; at the very beginning; preliminarily." Black's Law Dictionary, p. 708 (5th ed. 1979). In other words, a motion in limine is a preliminary or pretrial motion. Any motion which can be made at trial can, if the facts are known beforehand, be made before trial. See. e. g., State v.
