Best Answer

It often depends on your jurisdiction. Generally, there is a hearsay problem with a voicemail. Unless the caller says something which he contradicts later during testimony, it is usually inadmissible. Also, there is the issue of authentication; under the best evidence rule, copies and recordings are closely scrutinized.

Can stolen US mail be used as evidence in a court of law?

Stolen mail, like anything else, can be used as evidence if it meets the rules of evidence. Any sort of evidence can be excluded if it violates the evidence rules. If it is irrelevant, if it was obtained in violation of the 4th amendment, if it is hearsay, etc, it will be excluded. If you are a party to a lawsuit and you stole the other party's mail for the purpose of entering it as evidence, you probably won't be allowed to admit it. However, if you are on trial for tampering with the mail, the mail you stole would most definitely be evidence against you.
