““However, you may consider a witness’s earlier inconsistent statement as evidence without this limitation when the statement was made under oath at a trial. or the statement narrates, describes, or explains an event or condition the witness had personal knowledge of; and [a] the statement was written or signed by the witness. or [b] the witness acknowledged under oath that he made the statement. or [c] the statement was accurately recorded by a tape recorder, videotape, recording, or a similar electronic means of sound recording. It is for you to determine what weight should be given to that statement. In determining the weight to be given to an earlier statement, you should consider all of the circumstances under which it was made.” IPI Criminal 4th No. 311.”
