AnswerClick to flip back
A
To prevent the admission of unreliable evidence.
💡 Explanation:
The Hearsay Rule is designed to exclude out-of-court statements that are offered for the truth of the matter asserted because they are considered inherently unreliable due to the lack of opportunity for cross-examination and the absence of other safeguards that apply in court.
