Witness’s prior statement

activein force · 2017-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

a. Showing or disclosing the statement during examination. When examining a witness about the

witness’s prior statement, a party need not show it or disclose its contents to the witness. But the party

must, on request, show it or disclose its contents to an adverse party’s attorney.

b. Extrinsic evidence of a prior inconsistent statement. Extrinsic evidence of a witness’s prior

inconsistent statement is admissible only if the witness is given an opportunity to explain or deny the

statement and an adverse party is given an opportunity to examine the witness about it, or if justice so

requires. This subdivision (b) does not apply to an opposing party’s statement under rule 5.801(d)(2).
