The hearsay rule is a legal principle that prohibits the use of out-of-court statements to prove the truth of the matter asserted in those statements during legal proceedings. This rule is based on concerns about the reliability of such evidence, as the declarant is not available for cross-examination. However, there are numerous exceptions to the hearsay rule that allow certain out-of-court statements to be admitted under specific circumstances. Overall, the rule aims to ensure that only reliable evidence is presented in court.

Can hearsay of a habitual violator of a crime say a man with no record of such crime is the guilty party when all evidence is found on violator's property?
No, since the question presumes the evidence is hearsay; therefore it is inadmissible even if the witness had the highest degree of credibility. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule and many instances where an out of court statement seems to be inadmissible hearsay but is not (i.e. non hearsay hearsay), that it serves no purpose to provide facts that would allow the statement to be used at trial. If the question posed more facts than just the statement that the evidence is hearsay, they would show whether the statement is admissible under an exception or as non hearsay hearsay. Once the statement is admitted as evidence it would be up to the jury to determine if the witness is believable.
