I still wonder how THIS story will be told to the jury if KC doesn't take the stand. The original story can be read to the jury since it is her written statement. And RD and LP and the FBH can take the stand and say that now she says it was JBP. But, if she doesn't take the stand and testify to it-isn't it just hearsay (SP)?:waitasec:
OK, as it relates to the different versions of the JBP ....and who will tell the jury WHAT, and what would be considered hearsay....ON TOPIC
This is my question:
Casey last saw Caylee with Zanny at Sawgrass......We have her direct testimony to that (recorded in audio & transcription) when she told LE that stuff......now if LE is telling the Jury what Casey said ,and Casey is not on the stand in front of the jury herself, is THAT hearsay (verses just playing the recording or reading the transcript of the recording? KWIM
Now, This is what I understand hearsay to be:
CA saying KC told her blah blah blah (1001 different versions of the truth), and someone "other than CA" testifying to such blah blah blah....would be hearsay.
For example: I tweety933 could testify that LA told me that KC told him that KC had eaten alot of beans the day she picked him up from the airport and that is why she was bloated.
What does that prove to a jury....that LA told tweety933 something
What doesn't that prove to the jury....that KC told LA she wasn't pregnant
Remember the childhood game of telling a story to your classmate and having them pass it on to the student next to them, until all students had heard the story, and then finding out how different the story sounded when the last person hearing it told it, compared to the original story.......Usually way OFF!
So, whomever KC told about JBP scenario....be it GA, CA, RD, LP.....should be able to testify to what they heard, but the FBI interviewer who may have overheard something on a visitation monitor, would not be able to testify, because it would only be hearsay.....I'm trying to understand if this is correct?
