A quick definition of ante mortem statement:

Ante Mortem Statement: A statement made by a person before they die, which is also known as a dying declaration. This statement can be used as evidence in court to help solve a crime or determine the cause of death.

A more thorough explanation:

An ante mortem statement is a statement made by a person before their death. It is also known as a dying declaration. This statement is usually given in a serious or life-threatening situation where the person believes they may not survive. The statement can be used as evidence in a court of law.

During a robbery, a victim is shot and critically injured. Before they die, they tell the police the name of the person who shot them. This statement is considered an ante mortem statement and can be used as evidence in court.

Another example is when a person is terminally ill and knows they will not survive. They may make a statement about their wishes for their property or their funeral arrangements. This statement can also be considered an ante mortem statement.

These examples illustrate how an ante mortem statement can be used in different situations. It is important to note that the statement must be made voluntarily and without coercion for it to be admissible in court.
