Summary
Hearsay evidence refers to statements made outside of court used to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Exceptions include dying declarations, statements made under special circumstances, and admissions or confessions. Dying declarations are admissible when a person believes they are about to die and speaks about the cause or circumstances of their death. Statements made under special circumstances are those made during or immediately after a significant event, where the persons recollection is likely accurate due to stress. Admissions and confessions are statements by a party acknowledging relevant facts or committing a crime. These exceptions are applied in legal cases to determine the admissibility of evidence.Full Conversation
