Q

What is Hearsay (Evidence)?

A

Hearsay most often involves information a witness/suspect (police or civilian) knows because they were told about it by someone else. It is information the witness did not perceive first-hand with their own senses. Their knowledge of the information comes from another person or another source and is therefore second-hand and less reliable than the information the person who perceived it firsthand can give.
