Police interviews are not an exception to the rule that, in general, previous consistent statements are inadmissible. However, Section 120(3)-(7) C.J.A. 2003 governs the admissibility of previous consistent statements, and there are also common law exceptions such as a previous consistent statement that was res gestae. Rebutting allegations of fabrication, a witness refreshing their memory from a document, and previous statements identifying a person, object, or place are all exceptions to the rule.
