Rule 807 Child Victims or Witnesses (Reserved)

This rule has no content in the Washington Rules of Evidence. Instead, it points you to a Washington State law, RCW 9A.44.120, which covers how statements from child victims or witnesses can be used in court.

If you are involved in a case where a child is a victim or witness, you will need to look up RCW 9A.44.120 to understand the rules that apply. That law, not this rule, explains when and how a child's out-of-court statements can be admitted as evidence.
