A statement of one co-conspirator is admissible against the others as an admission of a party-opponent in both civil and criminal cases if made during the course of and in furtherance of the common objectives of the conspiracy. In reaching a determination as to whether there is a conspiracy and that the defendant and the declarant participated in the conspiracy, the content of the co-conspirator's statement may be considered. However, the statement alone is not sufficient; there must be additional independent evidence such as the circumstances surrounding the statement, the context in which the statement was made, or evidence corroborating the contents of the statement.
A) True
B) False
