Final answer:

An exception to the hearsay rule occurs with dying declarations, where statements made by a person facing imminent death are deemed admissible in court.


Explanation:

A judge would likely make an exception to the hearsay rule in the second example where a witness said, "Right before she died from a gunshot wound, Julie told me she is the one who stabbed John." This falls under a 'dying declaration,' which is a well-recognized exception to the hearsay rule.

In this scenario, the statement made by Julie, although hearsay, would likely be considered admissible in court due to the unique circumstances of it being a dying declaration.

This exception is based on the belief that a dying person is unlikely to lie as they face imminent death and impending moral judgment.
