Definition
Prior Under-Oath Statements are statements made by a witness under oath in a previous legal proceeding or deposition that are admissible as non-hearsay evidence in a current trial or hearing. These statements are considered reliable because they were made under the penalty of perjury and subject to cross-examination at the time they were originally given.
