Where independent evidence establishes a joint enterprise and a participant's involvement, the acts and declarations of co-participants made in furtherance of that enterprise (including communications necessary to advance the common purpose) are admissible and may be referred to in Opening and proved at trial; by contrast, hearsay statements that do not fall within that exception (notably certain narrative statements or those concerning Li Ka-kuen here) may not be relied upon in Opening until admissibility is established.
