Could someone please explain to me how hearsay works? I’m following the Depp/Heard trial, and I’m so confused when one of them gets objected to for explaining something THEY said. I get that you can’t say what someone else told you because you didn’t see or experience it firsthand, but why can’t witnesses share what they themselves said? If you believe someone’s testimony, you’re taking them at their word for everything else that they say happened, so why not what they said, too?

I found some examples of the kind of objections I’m talking about. They are at 8:15 and 10:25. Why isn’t she allowed to share what she said that lead to the dispute/in response to it?
