    This flowchart outlines the steps to determine whether an out-of-court statement qualifies as hearsay or non-hearsay and whether it would be admissible as evidence in court. It first asks if the statement is being offered against a criminal defendant. If yes, additional criteria around the confrontation clause and the declarant's availability must be met. If the statement is hearsay but fits an exception, it may be admissible. Otherwise, the statement is inadmissible hearsay.
