IANAL but since it's not under oath does it really matter what he's saying?
- hollerith 4y agoHis statements can be used against him in a criminal trial, so yes. Statements by another person generally cannot be used against him unless that person is brought into court, put under oath, and his lawyers get a chance to cross-examine the person. That is called the hearsay rule. That rule does not apply to statements made by the defendant.
