Thus the hearsay rule excludes a witnesss own prior statements unless either (1) they are offered only for a relevant nonhearsay purpose or (2) the proper foundation has been laid to support a finding by the trial judge that they fall within a particular hearsay exception (or exceptions).

Dan Defendant is charged with PWISD cocaine. [93] On the basis that, if the evidence is rejected because it is believed that the prior statement is true, probative evidence is excluded if the court is not permitted to act upon the statement. 7.83 It is important to keep in mind that s 60 only operates in respect of evidence already admitted. [91] Australian Law Reform Commission, Evidence, ALRC 38 (1987), [144]. Some nonverbal conduct, such as the act of pointing to identify a suspect in a lineup, is clearly the equivalent of words, assertive in nature, and to be regarded as a statement.

For example, the doctor uses the health history that he/she gets from a patient to form an expert opinion. An array of North Carolina cases support this conclusion, including State v. Coffey, 326 N.C. 268 (1990), State v. Irick, 291 N.C. 480 (1977), and In re Mashburn, 162 N.C.

The discussion also provides a background for evaluating the operation of s 60 in the courts, and in particular the High Court. The House severely limited the admissibility of prior inconsistent statements by adding a requirement that the prior statement must have been subject to cross-examination, thus precluding even the use of grand jury statements. Notes of Committee on the Judiciary, Senate Report No. 801(c), is presumptively inadmissible. Ollie Officer is on the stand, and Pat Prosecutor asks, "how did Dan first come to your attention?"

The rationale for the Committee's decision is that (1) unlike in most other situations involving unsworn or oral statements, there can be no dispute as to whether the prior statement was made; and (2) the context of a formal proceeding, an oath, and the opportunity for cross-examination provide firm additional assurances of the reliability of the prior statement.
