In responding to your last post to me,

You absolutely have the right to confront your accuser under the confrontation clause (subject to some exceptions). See Crawford v Washington.

The federal rules of evidence are very similar in both criminal and civil actions, but there are significant differences. See FRE 404(a)(2)(A).

I know that the Confrontation Clause is the main reason for the rule against hearsay, that's what I originally said. You're the one who said hearsay and the right of silence were connected. See below.

"Admissions of a party opponent are an exception to the hearsay rule. That's the main reason why you have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law"
