Final answer:
True, a statement made by the defendant can be considered an exception to the Hearsay Rule and be admissible in a criminal trial as an admission.
Step-by-step explanation:
A statement made by the defendant can indeed fall under the Admissions Exceptions to the Hearsay Rule in a criminal trial, which makes the correct answer to the student's question 'True'. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to confront witnesses, which generally rules out hearsay.
However, an exception exists wherein a defendant's own statements that are incriminating can be admissible, as these are considered to be admissions by a party-opponent. Furthermore, the Miranda rights highlight the necessity of defendants being aware that their statements can be used against them in a court of law.
