Conn. Crim. Jury Instr. 2.4-3
Impeachment -- Inconsistent Statements
Evidence has been presented that a witness, <insert name of witness>, made [a] statement[s]
outside of court that (is/are) inconsistent with (his/her) trial testimony. You should consider this
evidence only as it relates to the credibility of the witness’s testimony, not as substantive
evidence. In other words, consider such evidence as you would any other evidence of
inconsistent conduct in determining the weight to be given to the testimony of the witness in
court.
[<Include if appropriate:> The law treats an omission in a prior statement as an inconsistent
statement.]
