Evidentiary Rulings: Hearsay

The question of admissibility of testimony under a hearsay exception is left to the sound discretion of the trial court.  We will not overrule a district court's decision that a hearsay exception applies absent an abuse of discretion.  State v. Hamby, 1999 MT 319, ¶ 13, 297 Mont. 274, 992 P.2d 1266.
