Happy Friday ! Your videos are so informative , I can’t say how much they had help me along the way , btw I have bit confusion , is there a time limit of prior inconsistencies statement? Can you introduce inconsistencies statement just solely to impeach witness to attack their credibility? For example can you ask witness if 20years ago ,that he lied about something when he was 6 years old? Even what he lied about has nothing to do with the case he is involved today , but just to show he lied and he is not credible?
Relevance would stop that. If the impeaching evidence has no probative value, as per your example, it should not be tendered. Some lies or inconsistencies are so minor they're not relevant to credibility.
Hey is half truth also considering as prior inconsistencies statement? For example, before the witness said he took a glasses of wine before driving , but today she is saying he took a glasses of wine and some cocaine too . Is this count as prior inconsistencies statement? What if the witness says she forget to mention about cocaine or she didn’t think it would matter ?
Got 7 minutes in before realizing this deals with Canada law, not American. Lol. (I was wondering what the heck the “Section 10 and 11” references were.

It is. For the purposes of contradiction any difference matters.

What is the difference between Estoppel and “PIS”?
PIS is a prior inconsistent statement. Estoppel is a completely different doctrine.
