I'm a little rusty on the Fed rules of evidence, but isn't this technically an out of court of statement, which would be hearsay? Maybe there's a glaring exception I'm forgetting about, but otherwise, I could see the defense making a motion in limine to exclude or raising an objection if brought up at trial. Nonetheless, Florida rules of evidence may differ, and I know there are a lot of exceptions to the general rule against hearsay.
Yes, but I believe that out of court statements by a defendant (if DA becomes a defendant) are not hearsay and can be used against the defendant. Now whether they could use it against CA is another story.
