Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

In a criminal trial, a witness testifies on direct examination that they saw the defendant at the scene of the crime. Before trial, the same witness signed a written, unsworn statement denying that they saw the defendant. During cross-examination, defense counsel seeks to introduce the prior written statement. Under the Federal Rules of Evidence, may the defense introduce the statement?

  • Written statements may be introduced only when they corroborate the witness's current testimony.

  • The prior written statement is hearsay and cannot be admitted for any purpose.

  • The prior inconsistent statement can be introduced to challenge the witness's credibility.

  • The prior written statement is admissible to prove that the witness saw the defendant.
