Is the use of hearsay against a defendant ever fair?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will define hearsay and discuss the problem of not being able to cross-examine the person who originally made the statement. Students should identify and describe some of the numerous exceptions to hearsay and the rationale for the exceptions. That hearsay is counter to the basic right of confrontation should be logically juxtaposed with the need for hearsay at times involving deceased or unavailable witnesses.
