§ 1205 Hearsay Evidence Preservation

Key Takeaways

  • •This law doesn't change other rules about hearsay evidence.
  • •Hearsay is when someone says what another person told them, not what they saw themselves.
  • •Other laws about hearsay still work the same way.

Example

If someone tells the police their friend said they saw a car crash, but the friend isn't there to say it themselves.

This law doesn't change how the court decides if that kind of story can be used as proof. Other rules about hearsay still apply.
