RULE ER 613
                  PRIOR STATEMENTS OF WITNESSES


    (a) Examining Witness Concerning Prior Statement. In the
examination of a witness concerning a prior statement made by the
witness, whether written or not, the court may require that the
statement be shown or its contents disclosed to the witness at
that time, and on request the same shall be shown or disclosed to
opposing counsel.

    (b) Extrinsic Evidence of Prior Inconsistent Statement of
Witness. Extrinsic evidence of a prior inconsistent statement by
a witness is not admissible unless the witness is afforded an
opportunity to explain or deny the same and the opposite party is
afforded an opportunity to interrogate the witness thereon, or
the interests of justice otherwise require. This provision does
not apply to admissions of a party-opponent as defined in rule 801(d)(2).
