Reference no: EM133683907

Question

In a kidnapping case, a young victim tells a police detective all about the home in which she was held. For example, the victim states, "The room was blue and had a large picture of an elephant." The defendant, however, contends that he has been wrongfully accused and he "has never even met the victim." The victim is unable to testify at trial. The prosecution seeks to introduce the victim's statement along with a video of a room in the defendant's house where the police alleged the victim was held. The video shows a large picture of an elephant on a blue wall. Is the victim's statement hearsay if offered to prove that the victim was in the defendant's home?
