Case: Pending Biscuit Cookie v. Azalea Isles (2026) CV 27

OBJECTION: HEARSAY

Your Honour, these screenshots would constitute out-of-court statements which would be hearsay. We ask the Court to order the witness not to "dump" them all here.

Objection overruled.

Hearsay is indirect testimony of a nature that undermines the safeguards around witness examination.
However, In this case the screenshots sound like they might be relevant evidence on the relevant context of the Plaintiff's alleged admission.
As such, I will not prohibit their introduction into the evidence pool.

The Court prefers for evidence to be submitted with the Case Filing or the Answer to the Case Filing, however new evidence may be considered for admission until the end of witness (cross-)examination. No additional evidence will be permitted after that point to allow for Closing Statements to be made by the parties in full knowledge of all relevant evidence and testimony.

While I am generally not opposed to witnesses volunteering relevant evidence in response to questions addressed to them, given the witness referred to such action as "dumping" the screenshots in this case, I do have lingering concern that some of the images might lack relevance or otherwise be inappropriate.
As such, I will ask this time that Mr. Spezi please provide his evidence screenshots to either or both parties and let them decide what to submit to the court.
Should the opposing party believe that certain submitted evidence is inappropriate, they may file a Motion to Suppress Evidence.



With the Objection resolved, Defendant's questioning of the witness may resume.

Signed,
Hon. Judge Iturgen "jotoho" Bolir

INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL

I am requesting a review of this ruling.

Hearsay is an out‑of‑court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted. The witness’s screenshots are out‑of‑court statements offered to prove the plaintiff’s intent. That makes them hearsay. The prosecution was required to authenticate the screenshots and show a hearsay exception or that the statements were non‑hearsay. The court erred by allowing the witness to introduce the screenshots without requiring that foundation.
