| | Hearsay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hearsay is generally not admissible in common law courts because it is of suspect value, but there are many exceptions to this prohibition. | | | Hearsay in its most general and oldest meaning is a term used in the law of evidence to describe an out of court statement offered to establish the facts asserted in that statement. | | | Today the hearsay rule has developed into a complex set of evidentiary rules of admissibility that are used to prevent various types of statements and documents from being entered into evidence in various types of court proceedings, though they may be allowed in other types of hearings, such as alternative dispute resolution. |

| | Hearsay evidence can also be testimony in a court of a statement made out of court. | | | Hearsay is a statement, other than one made by the declarant, while testifying at trial or a hearing offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted. | | | Without personal knowledge of the matter testified to, the court will generally not allow the party to testify as to a hearsay statement. |

| | Although most of the examples are based on civil cases, the same hearsay issues apply in criminal cases. | | | By its very nature, hearsay is the statement of a person who is not testifying at trial under oath and not subject to cross-examination. | | | The purpose of the hearsay rule is to limit the danger of unreliable evidence at trial. |

| | Hearsay Defined & Explained |
| | Hearsay is any statement made outside a hearing or trial which is presented at the hearing or trial to prove the truth of the contents of the statement. | | | Hearsay is not admitted in court because it's not trustworthy, as well as because of various constitutional principles such as the right to confront one's accusers, however, there are so many exceptions that often times hearsay is admitted more than excluded. | | | All evidence rules begin with the premise that hearsay cannot be used in court because secondhand testimony is considered unreliable and because the person who made the original statement is often unavailable for cross-examination. |

| | Hearsay evidence has been given many definitions as it has been interpreted and reinterpreted by the courts. | | | The statement must be “first-hand hearsay”, i.e., a statement made by a person who directly perceived the facts of which the evidence is being given. | | | Similarly, where the statement was prepared for the purpose of a criminal investigation, or for criminal proceedings (e.g., a S.9 witness statement taken by us during an accident investigation etc.) the statement is only admissible if the court decides that it is in the interests of justice to admit it (s.26). |

Compare the treatment of declarations of available declarants in Rule 801(d)(1) of the instant rules. | | | The Advisory Committee has rejected this approach to hearsay as involving too great a measure of judicial discretion, minimizing the predictability of rulings, enhancing the difficulties of preparation for trial, adding a further element to the already over-complicated congeries of pretrial procedures, and requiring substantially different rules for civil and criminal cases. | | | Procedural safeguards would consist of notice of intention to use hearsay, free comment by the judge on the weight of the evidence, and a greater measure of authority in both trial and appellate judges to deal with evidence on the basis of weight. |

| | OVERVIEW OF HEARSAY: |
| | If the lawyer actually understood hearsay, of course, he or she would not make a hearsay objection because the lawyer would know that the evidence was in fact admissible through some loophole under rule #1. | | | Even though it is hearsay and fits no exception, the judge should admit it anyway, "in the interests of justice" under Rule 807. | | | For example, the testimony by a witness that she heard Bill shout does not describe the content of his shout and is therefore not hearsay. |

| | The reason for the hearsay rule is that the person who made the statement outside the courtroom is not subject to cross-examination regarding whether or not the statement is true. | | | The other requirement that must be satisfied before a dying declaration is admissible is that the person who makes the statement must be the victim of the homicide that serves as the prosecutorial basis, and, that at the time the person made the statement or affirmed it, the declarant was "conscious of his impending death". | | | Some of the hearsay objections require that the declarant be unavailable, some require that the declarant be available and some have no requirement of either availability or unavailability. |

| | Hearsay Rule and Exceptions |
| | There are times when hearsay evidence is perhaps the right thing to do -- as in cases where a young child has been molested -- and, there are times when hearsay evidence is the only thing to do -- as in cases where the original witness has died or is unavailable. | | | The disgrace of this trial and its wrongful conviction led English jurists to develop a hard and fast rule against hearsay evidence, with hearsay defined as the words of a stranger to parties; that is, the words of someone to which neither the State nor the defendant are privy. | | | The hearsay rule, its exceptions, and hearsay evidence are some of the most defining features of Anglo-American criminal justice. |

| | In Crawford, the United States Supreme Court also identified types of evidence that are ordinarily admissible under exceptions to the hearsay rule that are not testimonial, and therefore are admissible against defendants in criminal cases, regardless of whether the defendant had an opportunity for prior cross-examination. | | | This right may be compromised when a hearsay statement is admitted into evidence without the declarant being available for cross-examination. | | | Lopez, 2000-NMSC-003, 128 N.M. The hearsay exceptions cited in the chart are all considered to be “firmly rooted,” meaning that a nontestimonial prior statement may be admitted under one of these exceptions without a constitutional violation. |
