One month before the trial, Lucy called Charlie on the phone and said: “Listen, this has gone too far; this lawsuit is really damaging my reputation. I am not admitting to anything, but it is possible I accidentally used inferior leather in making the footballs. Give me two weeks and I will make you twenty more footballs; I promise: you will be satisfied. I will also give you $10,000 back for all the trouble. If I do that, will you drop the lawsuit?” Charlie hung up the phone. At trial, Charlie wants to testify to Lucy's statement: “I accidentally used an inferior leather in making the footballs.” This evidence is:
