Residual Hearsay Exception

The residual hearsay exception is a legal provision that allows hearsay evidence to be admitted in court if it meets certain criteria, even if it does not fall under any other specific hearsay exception. These criteria include the statement being offered as evidence of a material fact, no other more probative evidence exists, its admission serves the interests of justice, and the offering party provides prior notice to the opposing counsel.
