Understanding the Rule Against Hearsay

The rule against hearsay stems from the concern that out-of-court statements lack the safeguards of cross-examination and the opportunity for the trier of fact to assess the credibility of the declarant. The rationale behind this rule is to ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of evidence presented in court.

However, the blanket prohibition against hearsay would severely limit the admissibility of relevant and probative evidence. Recognizing this, the law has developed a series of exceptions to the hearsay rule that allow for the admission of out-of-court statements under specific circumstances.
