Well we expect the persons who appear before us to tell us about what they actually saw because that is what we are interested in.  Hearsay may be led under limited circumstances where there isn't anyone else to give that evidence but it only effects the weight to be attached to hearsay evidence.
	We didn't want to burdened with a whole host of hearsay evidence which cannot be substantiated and the persons who give evidence in regard to those occurrences are not here to be cross-examined if necessary.  That is the point I was making to the witness.
