According to the Ibrahim Rule, for a witness statement to be admissible, it must be:

  1. Recorded on video

  2. Taken under oath and clear of duress

  3. Reviewed by the witness lawyer

  4. Typed and not handwritten

The correct answer is: Taken under oath and clear of duress

According to the Ibrahim Rule, for a witness statement to be admissible, it must be taken under oath and clear of duress. This means that the statement must be given voluntarily and without any coercion or pressure. A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fulfill the criteria of being taken under oath and without duress. A video recording may not necessarily ensure that the statement was given freely, a review by the witness's lawyer does not guarantee that it was not given under duress, and whether the statement is typed or handwritten does not affect its admissibility.
