<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pandacollector, post: 971010, member: 26583&quot;]Mr. Rim&#039;s,</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, I barely removed anything at all. Here is the complete statement and please observe this is California law not Oklahoma or anywhere else. The point of this study for the State was to highlight differences between the California and Federal Codes, Wikipedia notwithstanding: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>Out of court statements that are not offered for the truth of the matters stated are not hearsay</b>. If prior statements of witnesses are “not hearsay,” some might be misled into believing that they cannot be offered for the truth. California avoids these pitfalls by remaining faithful to the Common Law tradition. If an out of court statement is offered for the truth of the matter stated, then it is hearsay and is not admissible unless it falls within an exception. It is immaterial that the testimonial source for the out of court statement might be the hearsay declarant for purposes of determining whether the statement is hearsay. In this respect, the Code, like the Common Law, is declaration centered.16 The focus is on whether the out of court declaration is being offered for the truth.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There is not a syllable missing. I&#039;m delighted this line of legal discussion is closed, too. I thought it would never end. Thanks for your perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Peter Anthony</p><p><a href="http://www.pandacollector.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pandacollector.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pandacollector.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my source:</p><p>STATE OF CALIFORNIA</p><p>CALIFORNIA LAW</p><p>REVISION COMMISSION</p><p>BACKGROUND STUDY</p><p>Comparison of Evidence Code with Federal Rules:</p><p>Part I.
