3. “Because the State presented no evidence identifying the persons on the tape, this Court is unable to determine whether the statements on the tape would be exempt from hearsay as admissions by a party-opponent under Rule 801(d)(2)(A) (in the case of Brown's own statements) or 801(d)(2)(E) (in the case of statements by a co-conspirator, Black, offered against Brown). As the declarants were anonymous, we also are unable to assess the applicability of any hearsay exceptions dependant upon the declarant's unavailability. M.R.E. 804. Further, insufficient evidence of the context of the anonymous declarant's statements was established by the proponent to enable our assessment of the applicability of hearsay exceptions under Rule 803.”
