§ RULE 5-607 WHO MAY IMPEACH

RULE 5-607. WHO MAY IMPEACH

The credibility of a witness may be attacked by any party, including the party calling the witness.

Committee note: This Rule eliminates the common law “voucher” rule. It does not permit a party to call a witness solely as a subterfuge to place an otherwise substantively inadmissible statement before the jury. It is not intended to otherwise affect existing law concerning the court's discretion to control direct and cross-examination.

Source: This Rule is derived from F.R.Ev. 607 and Rule 1-501.
