Ind. Evidence Rule 806
Attacking and Supporting the Declarant’s
Credibility
Effective January 1, 2014
When a hearsay statement or a statement described in Rule 801 (d)(2)(C), (D), or (E) has been
admitted in evidence, the declarant's credibility may be attacked, and then supported, by any evidence that would be admissible for those purposes if the declarant had testified as a witness. The
court may admit evidence of the declarant's inconsistent statement or conduct, regardless of when
it occurred or whether the declarant had an opportunity to explain or deny it. If the party against
whom the statement was admitted calls the declarant as a witness, the party may examine the
declarant on the statement as if on cross-examination.
