California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Enyart v. City of L.A., 76 Cal.App.4th 499, 90 Cal.Rptr.2d 502 (Cal. App. 1999):
5.The hearsay objections were not well taken because the statements in issue were not being offered for the truth of the matter stated. (Evid. Code, 1200, subd. (a).) Statements reflecting on the bias of the jurors who uttered them are not hearsay. (Weathers v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (1971) 5 Cal.3d 98, 110.)
