Testimonial hearsay, such as depositions to the police, is evidence. You have no idea what you are talking about. Stop mansplaining

A deposition to the police is not hearsay, it's evidence.

If you're going to play armchair lawyer, get the facts straight.

Hearsay evidence can be good evidence, too.

Difference in this case is there's actually evidence rather than hearsay.

If I'm understanding your position correctly, its basically that the people providing testimony are all liars?

I haven't seen evidence of that, and cases being dismissed is likewise not evidence of that.

Source?

> again, just look how idiotic the cases are being run

I agree completely with this. The legal teams have not done a good job.

> hearsay

This word just means it can't be provided as evidence. It does not mean that the person is lying.

There's a reason hearsay evidence is not accepted in courts.

If an officer testified in support of you about what he witnessed, why would that be hearsay?

No, a statement is not evidence no matter how much you want it to be. A _sworn testimony_ of a _witness_ is evidence. But there can't really be any witness here, unless the person on the other end was extremely careless. So you get a bunch of hot air and unsubstantiated allegations which will never go anywhere.

Verbal testimony IS a kind of evidence.

"He said, she said" is easy to dismiss. "He said, she presented a CCTV recording" is a different story.

Hard/soft evidence are established legal terms.

Witness testimony is evidence. You don't have to believe him, but it is specious to reject a witness's testimony primarily on the grounds that it is not evidence.

Eyewitness testimony is hearsay. Hearsay is quite often admissible.

Sworn testimony is evidence under the law.

Ok, I apologize in that I was using the vernacular of evidence and not the legal definition. Did Ford or anyone provide any evidence beyond her testimony?

There isn't much of a case when they only thing that can be said is "you did this" and "no I didn't"

It's hearsay 101 - an out of court statement by someone who didn't say it, being offered for the truth of the statement. it's not hearsay when you say it to the officer because that is a party admission.
