The intent of the amendment is to extend substantive effect to consistent statements that rebut other attacks on a witness -- such as the charges of inconsistency or faulty memory.

Rule 801(d)(1)(B), as originally adopted, provided for substantive use of certain prior consistent statements of a witness subject to cross-examination.

Viewed in that light, it is clear that s 60 is the result of a cautious approach to a number of major issues, and that it results in a simple and sound solution to those issues. But equally often, the proponent of what appears to be hearsay evidence will attempt to introduce it for a non-hearsay purpose, i.e., for a purpose other than to establish the truth of the matter asserted. See generally 2 Kenneth S. Broun, Brandis & Broun on North Carolina Evidence 102 n. 47 (6th ed. Emich Motors Corp. v. General Motors Corp., 181 F.2d 70 (7th Cir. Ie. The bulk of the case law nevertheless has been against allowing prior statements of witnesses to be used generally as substantive evidence. This can be translated to mean that if a representation is admitted into evidence for a reason other than to prove its truth (non-hearsay purpose), then it automatically becomes relevant for all purposes, including the hearsay purpose. The implications of Lee v The Queen require examination. For example, if Calins statement was not intended to assert the truth of the admission, on what basis did s 59 apply? 2 Kenneth S.

Sometimes the proponent of hearsay evidence can introduce the evidence under one of the exceptions in Rules 803 and 804.
