I think your hair splitting is a sign of desperation, but we can play if you like.
Typically, one can classify a statement as hearsay under the Federal Rules of Evidence using a three-step analysis.
A statement will be considered hearsay if it is:
- An assertive statement
- Made by an out-of-court declarant
- Is being offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein.
Further, if a statement is being offered for its truth—meaning that its relevance depends upon the jury believing the substance of the statement—then it is being offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein. If a statement is relevant for
any other purpose other than proving the truth of the matter asserted therein, then the statement will not be considered hearsay under the Federal Rules of Evidence.
IOW, in a court of law the statement of the person claiming to have been sexually assaulted would be admitted as a statement, but technically it's not actual evidence. Allowed in a courtroom testimony yes, evidence, no. But we're not in the court of law, now are we? How convenient? Leftist strategy is bring claims which cannot be taken to a court of law, and then try the case in the court of public opinion, with the assistance of a bias media. It's working. Congratulations. All good till the mob comes for you. The winds, they do change.
