Kentucky Rules of Evidence

ARTICLE VI. WITNESSES  

  

KRE 613 PRIOR STATEMENTS OF WITNESSES

     (a) Examining witness concerning prior statement. Before other evidence can be offered of the witness having made at another time a different statement, he must be inquired of concerning it, with the circumstances of time, place, and persons present, as correctly as the examining party can present them; and, if it be in writing, it must be shown to the witness, with opportunity to explain it. The court may allow such evidence to be introduced when it is impossible to comply with this rule because of the absence at the trial or hearing of the witness sought to be contradicted, and when the court finds that the impeaching party has acted in good faith. 

     (b) This provision does not apply to admissions of a party-opponent as defined in KRE 801A.

[1992 c 324, sec 16, 34, eff. 7-1-92; 1990 c 88, sec 46]
