  1. Heresay is a slippery slope.

  3. Heresay is good when it's on our side and bad when it's against us -- which really means it's better to not allow it at all.

  4. Hearsay is a vague term which might include written items of the "absent" party.

    I believe some forms of "hearsay" might be valid proof, evidence of a person's wishes and intentions.

    For example:
    Diaries, docuemtns, journals, personal calendars, letters, photos, film, videos etc.

    Hearsay evidence based on something said, offered by a 3rd person/party about another absent person is a big problem.

  5. Hearsay is in reality repeating opinion or rumor.

    It it also what's used against family, so we cannot condone it.
