Question

a pedestrian sued a defendant for injuries he suffered after the defendant allegedly drove his car through a red light and struck the pedestrian in a crosswalk. at trial, a woman who had seen the accident testified that she clearly saw the defendant run the red light and hit the pedestrian. the defendant did not cross-examine the woman, and she was excused as a witness and immediately left the jurisdiction. the defendant then called the woman's neighbor to testify that the woman had told him a week after the accident that the defendant had not run the red light. the pedestrian objects to the neighbor's testimony about the woman's statement. is the neighbor's testimony about the woman's statement admissible?

Answer 1

Answer: Most likely not.

Explanation: Most likely not. Why would they call the womens neighbor a week later after it happened? That does not make sense. The neighbor was no there to witness anything either.
