What is the test for admissible testimony at a civil trial of a witness giving evidence in a testimony that was not in the context of the trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stewart, F064564 (Cal. App. 2019):
3. This testimony was admissible for the nonhearsay purpose of demonstrating the effect of out-of-court statements on the listener. (People v. Livingston (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1145, 1162.) Insofar as the People may have intended to establish the truth of the matters asserted, defense counsel made no objections.
