A more thorough explanation: Hearsay is a legal term that refers to a statement made outside of the courtroom setting, which is offered as evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement. In other words, it is an out-of-court statement that is being presented in court as evidence of the facts stated in the statement.
Example: Objection, Your Honor. The witness’s testimony is based on hearsay and should not be admitted as evidence.
