Most-quoted passages

5 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Under the doctrine of past recollection recorded a witness may testify to a transaction or event on the basis of a written record of his past recollection, although the writing does not refresh his memory and he has no independent recollection of the event or transaction. Under this rule the memorandum may be admitted into evidence as a substitute for the witness's oral testimony. Witness' Use of Memoranda , 476. However before the notes or record are admissible it must be shown (1) that the witness at one time personally knew the facts upon which he is being examined, and that the memorandum is a correct record of them; (2) that the record *Page 1160 was made soon after the occurrence so that the facts were fresh in his mind; and (3) the original memorandum must be produced or its absence accounted for. Witness' Use of Memoranda , 475-476. Only after this predicate has been laid may the actual memorandum be introduced into evidence." Gibson v. State , 347 So.2d 576 , 581 (Ala.Cr.App. 1977).”
