A: There are many things that go into determining if a statement is admissible. It depends who made it. If the defendant did - was the defendant Mirandized?

Is the person who made the statement testifying? If not, does the statement fall under an exception to hearsay. I am licensed in AZ, but those are the basic things that are first examined by an attorney. There are many other exceptions and it is best to consult with an attorney regarding the statement and other evidence that will be presented at trial.

Good luck,
