The awnser is During the rebuttal phase

Explanation:

A rebuttal witness is called to prove that the evidence produced by the defendant is false. His testimony must be substantive and related to the evidence produced by the defendant. During rebuttal, the prosecution or plaintiff must not introduce any new evidence that they could have produced during the case in chief.
