““Rebuttal evidence in [a] criminal case is that which is given by the state to explain, repel, counteract, contradict, or disprove, evidence introduced by or on behalf of the defendant.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Sam v. State · Dickerson v. State“"`In nearly every case, we find evidence introduced as rebuttal which might properly have been introduced in support of the case in chief, but this is not the sole test. The question which arises and is directed to the discretion of the trial court is whether the evidence offered in rebuttal is a rehash of the State's case in chief, or whether it pertains to some material issue which has become important because of effect of evidence introduced on behalf of defendant.'"”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bigsby v. State · Higgins v.
