182. Exceptions to hearsay rule

I'm not an attorney but I've done some research on when hearsay might be allowed in a criminal trial. I don't know if federal law differs from Florida law in hearsay rule exceptions but I was basing my previous response on what I've read about exceptions to the hearsay rule. So, unless I'm misunderstanding the applicable of the hearsay exceptions I would think that Trayvon's girlfriend would be able to testify about her conversation with him as long as she is available for cross examination. Please correct me if I'm misinterpreting this info as it would relate to Florida law.

(3) testifies to not remembering the subject matter;
