§ 12-2806. Attacking and supporting credibility of declarant
When a hearsay statement, or a statement defined in subparagraph
b, c, d or e of paragraph 2 of subsection B of Section 2801 of this
title, has been admitted in evidence, the credibility of the
declarant may be attacked and, if attacked, may be supported by any
evidence which would be admissible for those purposes if declarant
had testified as a witness. Evidence of a statement or conduct by
the declarant at any time, inconsistent with the declarant’s hearsay
statement, is not subject to any requirement that the declarant may
have been afforded an opportunity to deny or explain. If the party
against whom a hearsay statement has been admitted calls the
declarant as a witness, the party is entitled to examine the
declarant on the statement as if under cross-examination.
