Vt. R. Evid. 806

As amended through April 1, 2024
Rule 806 - Attacking and Supporting Credibility of Declarant

When a hearsay statement, or a statement defined in Rule 801(d)(2)(C), (D), or (E), has been admitted in evidence, the credibility of the declarant may be attacked, and if attacked may be supported, by any evidence which would be admissible for those purposes if declarant had testified as a witness. Evidence of a statement or conduct by the declarant at any time, inconsistent with the statement admitted in evidence, is not subject to any requirement that he may have been afforded an opportunity to deny or explain. If the party against whom a statement has been admitted calls the declarant as a witness, the party is entitled to examine him on the statement as if under cross-examination.
