QUESTION 1

A "previous consistent statement" refers to an oral or written statement made by a witness on a
prior occasion that aligns or corresponds closely with their testimony in court. This type of
statement becomes relevant when a witness, while testifying, asserts that what they are stating
in court is consistent with something they have said outside the court. However, the statement
made outside of court is not directly submitted as evidence. Instead, it is mentioned by the
witness to demonstrate that their in-court testimony is consistent with their previous statements.
