summary: "Hearsay is part of the Types of Evidence taxonomy used by Idaho Brady List. Hearsay evidence is information provided outside of a court setting to someone involved in the trial. In most cases, judges don't allow hearsay evidence because the attorney for an opposing law team doesn't have an opportunity to cross-examine the person who provided the information. However, some jurisdictions allow it under certain circumstances. Examples of hearsay that a judge may permit include admissions made by a witness that don't benefit them or statements people make shortly before their expected death."
