## Text

If a party introduces all or part of a writing or recorded statement, an adverse party may request the introduction, at that time, of any other part — or any other writing or recorded statement — that in fairness ought to be considered at the same time.
COMMENT ON RULE 106
Rule 106 is taken verbatim from its federal counterpart, except for the use of the term "request" instead of "require" in the first sentence. The trial court should limit the introduction, by an adverse party, of any other part of a writing or recorded statement to information that is relevant or assists the jury in placing the writing or recorded statement in context. The adverse party does not have the absolute right to place the entire writing or recorded statement in evidence.
