How to Analyze Hearsay on an Evidence Essay (Pt. 1): What is Hearsay? (FRE 801(c))
HEARSAY (FRE 801(c))
Hearsay evidence is not admissible unless it falls under a valid exception. Under Rule 801(c) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, hearsay is an (1) out-of-court (2) statement (3) that is offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted.
(1) "Out-of-Court"
A statement is made "out-of-court" when the statement is made outside the proceedings of the current case (e.g., A statement made in the hallway outside the courtroom just before proceedings begin would be considered out-of-court.).
(2) "Statement"
A “statement” for hearsay purposes is an assertion that is made by a human being. This includes a person’s oral assertions, written assertions (e.g., text messages, emails, memos, letters, etc.), or nonverbal conduct if the person intended it as an assertion (e.g., head nod, thumbs up, etc.).
Noises made by animals or machines do not constitute statements for hearsay purposes.
(3) "Offered to Prove the Truth of the Matter Asserted"
If an out-of-court statement is offered for any other reason than to prove the truth of the matter asserted, it is not hearsay.
Statements offered to show the effect on the listener are not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, and are thus not hearsay.
Statements offered to show the declarant’s mental state or state of mind are not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, and are thus not hearsay.
Statements offered to impeach a witness (i.e., to attack the credibility of a witness) are not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, and are thus not hearsay.
Verbal acts of independent legal significance are statements offered to prove that the statement itself was made, irrespective of its truth (e.g., defamatory statements, bribes, threats, contracts, etc.). Verbal acts of independent legal significance are not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, and are thus not hearsay.

    These lectures are so well done. Unfortunately, in law school, those who know the material best often do not get “As” on issue-spotter exams. “Getting into the weeds” is the coup de grace on a final exam. Studicata is detailed enough to analyze a fact pattern, but brief enough to actually finish fully essays in time. It’s awesome. I would recommend Barbri or Themis for M/C exams though

    Thank you. Truth has really been screwing me up even when I understand (for the most part) all the other Art 8 rules. It just seems that some questions leave out the context of whether they are using it to prove the truth of the matter asserted or for any of the other 4 exclusions (for lack of a better word). But I'll apply the "do we care?" idea to it. Thanks.

    What if there was a dispute on who damaged a 3rd party's car (or any property) and a witness at that moment of damage tells another person "It was the 2nd guy who damaged the car", would that statement be admissible under any exceptions of hearsay (whether the witness is available or not available) ? OR is such a statement (which the truth of the matter asserted in statement) goes to the heart of the case, can be brought in as a none Hearsay?

  • @andersonwallace4365
    @andersonwallace43653 жыл бұрын

    Based on your understanding, can hearsay be used to impeach the testimony of a nonparty witness? For instance, nonparty A claims that witnessed the event in dispute. Can nonparty B testify that A told them, in a previous conversation, that the defendant was innocent? If this is possible, what requirements need to be met first?

  • @LJ-fh9ue
    @LJ-fh9ue3 жыл бұрын

    Ok. Im still a bit confused. My understanding was that the meaning of the hearsay not being offered to prove the truth of the matter pertained directly to the fact in issue in the case. Eg if the defendant was charged with murder then the hearsay evidence would not be admissible if it was being offered to prove whether or not the Defendant was a murderer. The hearsay would only be admissible if the witness testimoney was being offered because it fell into one of the exceptions for hearsay evidence. Is this correct?.

    Please note, both of your lecture videos on FRE 801(c) and FRE 801 (d) are about to extremely relevant. Thank you for breaking this down in such a simple manner for those of us who aren't law students. I personally found these videos trying to research what "hearsay" is and whether or not the Trump impeachment will be able to proceed legally. Looks like it will despite what the talking heads are saying! Thanks!

  • @studicata

    2 жыл бұрын

    Good question! Many statements made during a deposition are inadmissible hearsay. However, there are several ways statements made during a deposition can be admitted into court. Statements made during a deposition that are offered later in court for some reason other than to prove the truth of the matter asserted are not hearsay. Also, statements made during a deposition that satisfy FRE 801(d)(1) or FRE 801(d)(2) are not hearsay (See Part 2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqqCt9NmcbjLfJs.html). Alternatively, statements made during a deposition that are hearsay could still be admissible under FRE 803-804 (See Part 3: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4CIzM5pgb3Vh7Q.html). Hope this helps!

    I care that the Prosecuting attorney always states facts he has no first person knowledge. The charging officer never has an affidavit along with two witnesses on the complaint. Warrants or the Prosecuter usually never has a Bond on file when they charge the person or arrest them with the warrant. They never have the warrant to show the person arrested to prove its valid. I care that all courts are Admiralty courts because we are in Martial Law since the civil war and because we have no lawful money so the common law is no more. Also the Federal Government was obsolved in 1933 when it was bankrupt and without lawful money lost its sovereignty so it could exist no longer in fact, only in name. United States is a For-Profit Corporation enforcing the Law Merchant UCC Admiralty courts that require an International Contract to have Jurisdiction. If the judge says its a criminal charge, it has to be common law or admiralty. Common law needs an injured party, admiralty needs a contract. Civil needs a contract and can not have a monetary penalty. UCC jurisdiction needs a contract also. "Statutory Jurisdiction" is not a real jurisdiction. So basically none of the courts today are valid or lawful at all.
