That's not necessarily hearsay. ALL trials are one person's word against another. A jury decides if they are telling the truth or not and give a verdict based on that and other evidence, if any. Your attorney can explain whether certain evidence would be admitted as hearsay, and if you don't have an attorney, then you have no business going to trial.
