Laymen define hearsay as rumors or information received or heard from someone else
that has not been verified, or simply information received whose facts cannot be ascertain. On
the other hand, Law defines hearsay as written or oral statements spoken by a person not termed
as a witness in a court hearing but which is court is requested to accept as facts to justify a matter
stated before a court. In most cases, such type of evidence is inadmissible. (Dow, 1974)
