A victim was interviewed by the police shortly after the crime. A year later, the victim
takes the stand at trial and tells the jury exactly the same story she told the police
after the crime. The defense attorney on cross examination says that she is testifying
that way against the defendant because she is mad at him for something else that he
did. The prosecutor calls as a witness the police officer that interviewed her a year ago
and asks the officer what she told him.
A)Her statement to the police officer is hearsay and not admissible.
B)The officer cannot testify about what she told him because he does not know if it is true.
C)Her statement to the police officer a year ago is not hearsay and can be admitted.
D)Her statement is too remote to be admitted into evidence.
