That’s not necessarily hearsay, hearsay is when the statement being offered is used to prove what’s asserted (TOMA, truth of the matter asserted). You can testify to what you heard someone say for a variety of non-TOMA reasons, like the effect it had on the person who heard it or to explain the subsequent actions someone took after hearing it.

[@TheCAL-dx4tr]

Back when I was in 8th grade my class did a mock trial against another class. I had the role of one of the defense lawyers. At one point the prosecution was cross examining one of my team’s witnesses and asked a question. I don’t remember what the question was, but I stood up and objected. I told the judge I’m not sure what objection this is but I’m pretty sure I need to object. I don’t remember what happened after that, but I think that was my best moment in the mock trial

[@Migmangaming2]

The advice my mock trial team was given is to just say “objection” if you *know* it isn’t allowed. The judges were all attorneys or judges and they knew all the objections from years of professional experience. The judge would either sustain it lazily or challenge you to actually name the objection. In any case, you’d get points for the effort and the other side would lose points for exposing themself to the objection (the judges would give trial verdicts, but which team won was based on personal performances, to make it fair in case the case wasn’t balanced). Fun fact: I actually thought at first that “hearsay” meant a leading question because I heard it as “here, say…” Felt stupid when I figured that one out…

Would it not sometimes be relevant to establish someone heard something? For example in a self defense case where you’re establishing why the defendant felt threatened. Especially if the attacker is pleading the fifth.

[@shinobiwannabe]

Heresay isn’t a blanket rule, in that case the defendants lawyer could ask, “why did you feel threatened” and then the defendant would get the chance to answer and a judge would probably find his response although heresay to be relevant. The problem with the question that the lawyer was asking in this video that there’s no way for the witnesses to not answer with heresay. This is why lawyers are important, it’s never that simple

By definition, not hearsay. If Charlie was in fact dead and the statement is being offered to show the truth of the matter asserted (I.e. that Charlie was dead) but Bob is a party opponent (e.g. defendant in a criminal case) this is an exclusion under the rules of evidence and also not hearsay.

They do admit it's unreliable. That's why evidence is a thing. Anyways hearsay isn't eyewitness testimony it's what someone else says is eyewitness testimony. "I saw this" is eyewitness testimony, "Dave said he saw this" is hearsay. There's also speculation: "I think Dave saw this instead"

[@Milesco]

*No.* Although it's often true that eyewitness testimony is unreliable, that's not what the hearsay rule is about. It's about the unreliability of someone going into court and testifying about what someone *_else_* told them. But that "someone else" isn't available for cross examination, so there's no way to explore whether that other person has a motive to lie or was even able to witness whatever it is he said he saw.

[@beckyburrow3165]

Still a law student, so not quite sure, but isn't it true that sometimes questions appear to be illiciting hearsay, but aren't? For example, if the witness says "I was so mad at him after we spoke..." the attorney can ask: "what was it he said to you that made you so mad." That would be illiciting an out of court statement that is used to establish the effect on the listener, which is distinct from a statement used for the matter asserted. If so, then wouldn't you need the full question to know if the attorney intends to use it for it's truth?

[@kpro8908]

Each jurisdiction (and even each judge) is a little different, but generally what would happen if an attorney objects “question calls for hearsay” is the opponent will then proffer what the witness is likely to say, and then explain the non-TOMA purpose or applicable exception. In the situation you outlined, it’s so obvious what that non-TOMA purpose is that it’s unlikely to get objected to, unless to ask for a limiting instruction.
