Question

Dominic sues Gemalt, Inc. for negligence. At trial, Dominic testifies that he heard Francis, a manager at Gemalt, say that he thought Gemalt was acting carelessly. Dominic's testimony about Francis will most likely be: a. not admitted as evidence because it is hearsay. b. admitted as evidence because the jury is able to evaluate all evidence witnesses wish to present. c. not admitted as evidence because it is not relevant to the issues. d. admitted as evidence because it is the testimony of the plaintiff.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option "A" is the correct answer to the following statement.

Explanation:

It is a situation of evidence hearsay. Eyewitness portraiture in court was not allowable unless it is provided by a law body or rule. So, even if a declaration is very scuttlebutt, if such an exception relates, it is still may be allowable.  

In this situation, Dominic's statement against Francis would not be submitted as evidence, because it would be rumor.
