Ian asked:

"Would you trust someone who is reporting what someone reported to
them about what someone reported to them about what someone reported
to them about what someone reported to them when deciding what
actually happened in a legal situation?"

Maybe not, but I do put a fairly high degree of trust in the accuracy
of both oral and written texts in the appropriate contexts. Courts of
law tend to trust the written records of other courts of law, even
when taken down by a stenographer then copied out in full then no
doubt photocopied and faxed many times. That is not the same as
hearsay.
