Remember, they want you to agree to their jurisdiction. Do they?
Something is admitted into evidence if it is relevant, that is, if it makes a material fact more or less likely. For example, testimony that a speed limit sign was made by an alien from Pleides would not be admitted into evidence, even if true, because the location of manufacture of the sign is not material to the issues of whether a limit was posted and whether the defendant exceeded the limit. And even some relevant evidence can be excluded. For instance, a confession to murder is most definitely relevant, but if it was gained by torture, it will be excluded. Most hearsay is excluded because of both its unreliability and the unavailability of the declarant to be cross-examined as required by the confrontation clause of the Constitution.

Question, are you a lawyer or judge? Well?
