If A's testimony is offered for the purpose of establishing that B said this, it is clearly admissibleif offered to prove that event X occurred, it is clearly . In criminal cases, however, troublesome questions have been raised by decisions holding that failure to deny is an admission: the inference is a fairly weak one, to begin with; silence may be motivated by advice of counsel or realization that anything you say may be used against you; unusual opportunity is afforded to manufacture evidence; and encroachment upon the privilege against self-incrimination seems inescapably to be involved.

Sometimes the proponent of hearsay evidence can introduce the evidence under one of the exceptions in Rules 803 and 804.

Admittedly evidence of this character is untested with respect to the perception, memory, and narration (or their equivalents) of the actor, but the Advisory Committee is of the view that these dangers are minimal in the absence of an intent to assert and do not justify the loss of the evidence on hearsay grounds.
