Admission against interest - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

An admission against interest is as an out-of-court statement made by a party that is against their own pecuniary, proprietary, or penal interest, and that is�admissible�under both an exclusion (admission by a party-opponent) and an exception (statement against interest) to the�rule against hearsay. Such a statement is admissible even if the declarant is available, because an admission by a party-opponent is non-hearsay and, thus, does not require unavailability.
