Question

The police arrested the defendant and charged him with murder. After the defendant's arrest, two police officers went to his home, where they found his wife. The victim had been killed on the night of March 13, and the officers asked the wife to give them the jacket that the defendant wore on the evening of March 13. Without saying a word, the wife handed the officers a jacket that was covered with bloodstains. Crime lab tests established that the blood on the jacket matched the victim's blood characteristics. At the defendant's trial for murder, the prosecution seeks to introduce the jacket into evidence.
Assuming the prosecution successfully establishes a foundation, if the defense objects to the jacket's admissibility, should the court admit the jacket?

A) Yes, as relevant evidence linking the ∆ to the crime.
B) Yes, because the wife waived the marital privilege by handing over the jacket.
C) No, as hearsay not within any exception.
D) No, because of the privilege against self-incrimination.
