Cross-examination on prior written statements permits questioning without production, but requires confronting relevant portions before proving contradiction.
Cross-examination on a witness's previous written statements is permitted when relevant to matters in question, without first showing or proving the writing. If the writing is intended to contradict the witness, the witness's attention must first be drawn to the specific portions proposed for contradiction before the writing may be proved for that purpose. Application to police diaries is governed by the separate procedural framework for such diaries.
