Well then how come every judge and court thought otherwise?

Ask them or find the exception in the law. I can't find it. Here are the references in the Florida law. Find the hearsay criteria used to allow the hearsay.

90.801  Hearsay; definitions; exceptions. 

90.802  Hearsay rule. 

90.803  Hearsay exceptions; availability of declarant immaterial. 

90.804  Hearsay exceptions; declarant unavailable.
