basic explanation
If you say something to the police, they can testify about it in court if it can help show that you committed a crime. However, if you said something to them which might show that you didn't commit a crime, you can't ask the police to repeat it in court, because that would be hearsay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.200.202 (talk) 06:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Merger discussion
Holding place for discussion about merging Statement against interest into this page as they're (AFAIK) the same legal concept. --Alexkozak (talk) 22:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support The concepts are so similar that we may as well merge their respective articles together. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:1C45:6147:C17E:A3EF (talk) 23:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support The pages don't seem to have much distinct information and seem to add confusion as they describe the same underlying concept (a particular hearsay exemption that both pages identify) 50.78.255.146 (talk) 20:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:12, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
