Dan, Sam and Jeff were at a party. There was some sort of altercation there. Sam’s jaw was broken and Sam sued Dan for assault and battery. The day after the party, Jeff tells his girlfriend, Mary, that he “saw Dan hit Sam while he (Jeff) was pinning Sam’s arms behind him in order to give Dan a free shot to hit Sam.” Sam’s attorney wishes to call Mary (who now is Jeff’s ex-girlfriend, since Jeff left town and can’t be found) to testify about Jeff’s statement to prove Dan hit Sam. What particular objection could be made to Mary’s testimony and why?? If the objection is made, outline ALL possible exceptions to that objection (and indicate whether they will work or not and why, outline every exception to the objection). (4 bonus points)
