1. “It is well established that a witness's prior consistent statement is admissible only [when]: (1) the veracity of a witness's trial testimony has been placed in issue at trial; (2) the witness is present at trial; and (3) the witness is available for cross-examination. And a witness's veracity is placed in issue, so as to permit the introduction of a prior consistent statement, if affirmative charges of recent fabrication, improper influence, or improper motive are raised during cross-examination.”
