2. In a criminal case for homicide, the prosecution offered Austin as witness to prove that Titus admitted to him the killing of the victim. At the trial, Austin answered these questions from the public prosecutor: Q: Did you witness the killing of the victim? A: No, ma’am. Q: What were you doing when the victim was killed? A: I was sleeping, ma’am. Q: Why are you testifying against Titus? A: Because Titus admitted to me that he killed the victim. Q: What did Titus tell you? Immediately, Titus’ counsel objected to the question on the ground that the answer of Austin would be hearsay and inadmissible in evidence. If you are the judge, how will you rule on the objection? Explain.
