I thought all of these were hearsay exceptions.

Statement against interest definitely belongs to 804.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems a bit off.

Totally agree, B is the odd one out!

Statement of personal or family history is not part of Rule 804.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think D is the right choice. Statements under belief of impending death seem more related to a different context.

I’m torn between C and D. I know both are hearsay exceptions, but I can't recall which one is specifically tied to Rule 804.
GA

I feel like A is the odd one out. Personal or family history doesn't seem to fit with the other hearsay exceptions.
BU

I think the answer might be B, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about prior statements being admissible under different rules.

I feel good about this one. The "statement of personal or family history" is a hearsay exception under Rule 803, not 804, so that's the answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The Rule 804 exceptions are things like former testimony, statement against interest, and dying declarations. I'm guessing the "prior statement by witness" is the one that doesn't fit.
JA

Hmm, this is tricky. I'm not totally confident, but I think the "statement under belief of impending death" is the one that doesn't belong, since that's a separate exception under Rule 804(b)(2).

I'm pretty sure the "prior statement by witness" is not a Rule 804 hearsay exception, since that's covered under Rule 801(d)(1).

Oh man, these hearsary exceptions are such a headache. I'm just going to close my eyes and pick option C. Statement against interest? Sounds like a bad day at the office to me.

Yeah, it does sound like a tough one to deal with.

Haha, this is a classic 'which one doesn't belong' question. I'm going to say option A is the odd one out - I mean, who doesn't love a good statement of personal or family history?
SH
Sheron

Definitely, option A is the odd one out.
TI
Timothy

OT

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with option D as the odd one out. The others all seem to be about statements made by the declarant, but a statement under belief of impending death is a bit different.
KE

I think option B is the odd one out here. The other three are classic hearsay exceptions, but prior statements by a witness don't really fit the mold.
CH
Christa

I agree, option D does seem out of place compared to the other choices.
VI
Vi

I disagree, option B is actually a valid hearsay exception.
