Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During a corporate fraud investigation, an attorney seeks to admit an email as evidence in court. The email states: 'I just received a call from Jamie, who told me that he overheard the CFO say the quarterly financial reports were altered to exaggerate profits.' The opposing counsel objects, arguing that the email constitutes inadmissible hearsay. How should the court rule on the objection?

  • The court should sustain the objection unless each layer of hearsay meets an exception or exclusion under the hearsay rule.

  • The court should overrule the objection because the email itself is a business record and is admissible as presented.

  • The court should sustain the objection because the email fails to meet the requirements for admissibility under the hearsay rule.

  • The court should overrule the objection because the declarant's email is a present sense impression.
