Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hearsay is generally inadmissible in court due to concerns about its reliability. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and one such exception can be when the statement appears to carry little risk of fabrication, which might make it more likely to be considered reliable and thus admissible. The other options are incorrect: hearsay is not broadly admissible based on the speaker being an expert witness (D), it does not inherently protect a witness's Sixth Amendment rights (C), and the fact that a statement contains an admission of wrongdoing does not automatically lead to its prohibition in most states (A).
