“Although [the witness] was uncooperative for the defense as well as for the state in failing to recall her statement to the police even after she was given the opportunity to review it, she did describe in some detail the circumstances of when she gave her statement to the police. She was able to recall that she signed and initialed the statement after it was read to her and that she was present at the club at the time of that incident. Significantly, she testified that the contents of her statement ... were truthful.”
