““Hearsay evidence is testimony by a witness in court relative to an extra judicial declaration by another which is offered to prove the truth of the facts asserted by the declarant. The value of the witness’ statement rests on the credibility of the declarant who is not in court available for cross examination. Jethroe v. State, (1974) 262 Ind. 505 , 319 N.E.2d 133 ; Harvey v. State, (1971) 256 Ind. 473 , 269 N.E.2d 759 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Whorton v. State · Shelby v. State“"His first contention is that the testimony of Diane Roundtree, age fourteen, ought not to be admitted ... because her testimony may have been influenced by the deceased's mother. It is well established that any person ten years of age or older is competent to testify in a erimi-nal case.... Her credibility was to be determined by the jury."”
