Proposed Mississippi Plain Language Model Jury Instructions - Criminal 206
Prior Inconsistent Statement by a Witness
You have heard evidence that a witness made a statement out of court or before trial that
is different from that witness’s testimony at trial. If you believe that the witness made the earlier
statement and that it is in fact different from the witness’s testimony, then you must use that
earlier statement only to determine the weight and truthfulness of the witness’s testimony.
