multiple hearsay

multiple hearsay
double (or multiple) hearsay
Hearsay statements which contain further hearsay statements within them. A statement made outside of court is hearsay when introduced in court to prove the truth of the statement. However, certain exceptions permit the introduction of hearsay if the out-of-court statement was made on the personal knowledge of the declarant as in the case of a declaration of a deceased person. If such statement of the deceased person was not made on his personal knowledge, the hearsay would be double or totem pole hearsay. An out-of-court admission of a defendant repeated by a non-testifying co-conspirator. State v. Farber, 642 P.2d 668, 675, 56 Or.App. 351
