Should statements including hearsay within hearsay be admissible in court? Can these statements truly be reliable? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


Hearsay within hearsay is a hearsay statement that includes one or more additional hearsay statements. These statements are admissible in court only when all of the statements conform to the requirements of the hearsay exceptions in the Federal Rules of Evidence. Reliability depends on the analysis of the questioned statement. Opinions will vary.
