You Say, We Say, We All Say, Hearsay!

Question: Whether prior statements made by an alleged murder victim and another, separate missing victim to family and friends in letters can be admitted over hearsay and Confrontation clause objections, when they are to be used against the alleged perpetrator of both crimes?

Brief Answer: According to the Illinois General Assembly, possibly yes.
