““ ‘[t]he purpose of an offer of proof is to enable this [Cjourt to determine the materiality, relevance, and competence of the evidence.’ State v. Cote, 691 A.2d 537, 541 (R.I.1997). Such offers ‘[shall] be reasonably specific, rather than general, should include a statement of the facts to which the witness would testify, should indicate the purpose and object of the proof offered, and should establish that the evidence sought to be admitted is admissible.’ Id. at 542 .” Hazard, 785 A.2d at 1120 .”
