that the declarant of a party admission have personal knowledge of the facts underlying his statement). Even those authorities imposing some level of personal knowledge in the context of a Rule 801(d)(2) admission do so when the statement contains nothing more than repetitions of gossip with no indicia of trustworthiness. Brookover, 893 F.2d at 416. These witness statements, given pursuant to a police investigation and based largely on personal observations, do not merely reiterate speculative gossip and contain sufficient factual matter and indicia of trustworthiness to sustain their admissibility despite any lack of personal knowledge. The proper course is to admit these statements and to permit their reliability to be tested on cross-examination. See Mister, 571 F.3d at 699 (<HOLDING>). The Court concludes that the witness
holding that the district court did not err in relying on hearsay evidence where the government offered reasons why its hearsay evidence had indicia of reliability and the court considered the reliability of the evidence in deciding the weight to give the hearsay evidence recognizing that the united states constitution may require courts to admit exculpatory hearsay statements that do not fall within any recognized hearsay exception holding that it would have been proper to admit party opponent admissions although they were based on multiple levels of hearsay and test their reliability on crossexamination but upholding the district courts exclusion of the statements where the hearsay statements lacked any factual content and lacked any indicia of trustworthiness holding that witness hearsay statements may be admitted whenever they bear sufficient indicia of reliability even without crossexamination holding that an internal investigative report which included multiple hearsay statements based on interviews with employees was admissible as a party admission under 801d2d concluding that 801d2d does not require anything else along the lines of internal verification of the reports contents but ruling that the report could have been properly excluded under fed revid 403 for lack of trustworthiness based on the absence of any factual content in the hearsay statements
