Lumpkin v. State

Bell, Justice,

concurring specially.

I write separately to point out, with respect to Division 4 of the majority opinion, that Williams’ prior consistent statement was admissible only because the appellant attempted to discredit his testimony during cross-examination, as well as during appellant’s own testimony. Had appellant not questioned Williams’ veracity, his prior consistent statement would have been inadmissible. Edwards v. State, 255 Ga. 149, 151 (2) (335 SE2d 869) (1985).
