1. “The [Bailey] Court noted that, “[djespite the limited utility of the doctrine, the life of Kucharczyk has been amazing for the number of occasions on which and the number of situations in which it has been invoked in vain.” Id. at 95, 294 A.2d 123 . Of import here, in reciting a variety of situations in which citation to Kucharczyk was inapposite, we began with the example that “Kucharczyk does not apply simply because a witness’s trial testimony is contradicted by other statements which the witness has given out of court....” Id. (eight supporting citations omitted).”
