Writing used to refresh memory
Official statutory text
If a witness uses a record or object to refresh the witness’s
memory either while testifying or before testifying, the court shall
allow an adverse party to have the record or object produced at the
hearing, to inspect it, to cross-examine the witness thereon and to
introduce in evidence those portions which relate to the testimony
of the witness. If it is claimed by an opposing party that the
record or object contains matters not related to the subject matter
of the testimony, the court shall examine the record or object in
chambers, excise any portions not so related, and order delivery of
the remainder to the party entitled thereto. Any portion withheld
over objections shall be preserved and made available to the
appellate court in the event of an appeal. If a record or object is
not produced, made available for inspection, or delivered pursuant
to order, the court shall make any order justice requires, but in
criminal cases if the prosecution elects not to comply, the order
shall be an order striking the testimony or declaring a mistrial.
