New York Watch, Guard, or Patrol Agency (WGP) License Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is hearsay?

An out-of-court statement, offered in court for its truth

Hearsay is a term used in the court of law to refer to an out-of-court statement that is offered as evidence for its truth. This means that the statement was not made during the current court proceedings and is being used to prove the facts of the case. Option B is incorrect because hearsay is not considered direct evidence, as it is not observed firsthand by the witness. Option C is also incorrect because hearsay is not a physical evidence, but a statement made by someone. Option D is incorrect because hearsay is not an opinion expressed by a court witness, but rather a statement made by someone outside of the court.
