/3 But if people came to you and said “hey coach a bunch of people are complaining that the team doctor is perving on them in the showers and doing gratuitous genital exams,” that would be hearsay, because they’re talking about other people’s statements.— BrandenburgTestHat (@Popehat) June 28, 2022
/5 That’s not hearsay either, because in that case you’re a party opponent and a statement of a party opponent is not hearsay. Just like first-hand witness testimony about what Trump said would be a statement of a party opponent in, say, a prosecution of Trump— BrandenburgTestHat (@Popehat) June 28, 2022
Very educational!
…Steven Lubet writes me to observe that the “hey coach!” statement “is not hearsay if it is offered to prove that the coach had notice of a problem and still ignored it.”
