      (a) To have it produced at the hearing;

      (b) To inspect it;

      (c) To cross-examine the witness thereon; and

      (d) To introduce in evidence those portions which relate to the testimony of the witness for the purpose of affecting the witness’s credibility.

Any portion withheld over objections shall be preserved and made available to the appellate court in the event of an appeal.

      (a) Striking the testimony; or

      (b) If the judge in his or her discretion determines that the interests of justice so require, declaring a mistrial.
