Heresay is A.the judge disagrees with the objection and allows the question, testimony, or evidence B.is information gathered by one person from another concerning some event, condition, or thing of which the first person had no direct experience. The person is not a first hand witness to what happened. C.if a fact were to have no bearing on the truth or falsity of a conclusion, it would be legally irrelevant - has nothing to do with what is being tried in court. I couldn't answer this question.Please help me.

It's spelt "hearsay" - literally, "hear + say". Sooooo... that should give you your answer. :)

Hi Siny, long time no see:)) "Hearsay" evidence is often not admissible in court, and there are strict rules about when such evidence will be allowed, which vary from nation to nation. If you've ever watched a legal drama and seen one of the lawyers leap up to say “Objection: that's hearsay,” now you know what he or she was referring to. "Hearsay" means that which cannot be verified from second or even third hand sources. A classic example of hearsay would be something like “my cousin saw the crime.” In this case, the cousin might well have seen the crime, but unless the cousin can be brought to court to testify, this evidence is treated as hearsay because it has not been verified by the person who actually witnessed the crime.
