§ 1236 Consistent Witness Statements Admissible

• •If someone says something before a trial and then says the same thing in court, it can be used as evidence.
• •This only works if the statement matches what they say in court.
• •The statement must follow the rules in Section 791.

A person tells their friend, 'I saw the car run the red light,' and then says the same thing in court.

Because they said the same thing before and in court, their earlier statement can be used as evidence.
