 -> first person testimony, hearsay is 2nd, 3rd, and usually not 
 -> admissable in court.
 SK> You are wrong on so many levels. First, eyewitness testimony IS

SK> such.
    Obviously Steve you know little of law.  Eyewitness is hearsay?
How is that.  Eyewitness is called 1st person.  A person in the presence of 
a crime is an eyewitness.  Period.  And it is usually the only type a court 
will accept.  Hearsay is not admissable, as in "I heard that so and so  did 
this".  You certainly have it backwards.  
SK> Read a book....learn to think, THEN debate  me. SK>  And the  moderator 
said to stop this garbage. I did. It's your turn.
    Steve, you  are pompous  and worse  than that  ill-informed.  I  am not 
debating you, I am CORRECTING you.....
Happy Trails,
Fred.
