What is the test for admitting hearsay evidence in a civil proceeding?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Castellana, 349 F.2d 264 (2nd Cir. 1965):
Our court has gone very far in authorizing the admission of hearsay evidence. United States v. DeSisto, 329 F.2d 929 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 377 U.S. 979, 84 S.Ct. 1885, 12 L.Ed.2d 747 (1964). However, our position still falls considerably short of basing a criminal conviction on testimony taken by deposition in a civil proceeding.
