Answer:
Non-verbal acts will influence the jury to either believe or disregard the hearsay.
Explanation:
Hearsay is a statement made during the hearing.
When such statement is made with false body language such as hunched shoulder and stuttering, the statement tend to be seen by the juries as unreliable.
Because of this, most lawyers will advocated their client to utilize non-verbal acts in order to support their statement.
Hearsay can be delivered with both assertive (aggressive approach made to make the statement become more convincing) and non-assertive behaviors (the opposite of assertive)
Example of assertive behaviors would be slamming the table lightly to make a point and example of non-assertive behavior would be reading the statement from a piece of paper.
