In Williamson V

In Williamson v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court noted that the hearsay rule is based on the assumption that:

A) It is difficult to recall statements that are made out of court.
B) Out-of-court statements are subject to hazards because of the inability to cross-examine the person who made the statement.
C) Admitting out-of-court statements runs the risk of violating an individual's right against self-incrimination.
D) Out-of-court statements are made in a manner that impedes their evidentiary value.
