How to Spot Hearsay Exceptions -- Fast!

When it comes to hearsay, taking a second or two to think of an exception is still too long in court. The judge will likely sustain the objection and move on. So how can lawyers quickly recognize whether or not a hearsay exception likely exists? In this video, I discuss two working rules to recognize hearsay exceptions, namely (1) necessity, and (2) trustworthiness of the evidence. Recognizing these exceptions can quickly determine whether the evidence should be admissible or inadmissible. This and more training videos at www.evidenceattrial.com/onlin...

Hey I was wondering if you could help me out. I live in a place with no adversarial system we are making the change in some states and I am participating in a mock trial as the prosecution. we are accusing a man of murdering his lover for fear she would have told his wife about the affair. We have a witness that says the accused told him that his lover had made this threat. However, when I plan the direct examination of the witness I fear the defene might object to that statement. Since it revolves around the state of mind of the accused and possible plan to murder his lover, could this be considered and exception to 803?
