He was repeating testimony. That's not repeating hearsay. If he was using that testimony to attempt to prove that such things happened, it would be hearsay, but he merely asserted that he had heard the testimony from those who claimed that they themselves had committed the acts. In fact, it is entirely possible that his testimony COULD have been used in a trial against the people who made the confessions. Hearsay isn't always really hearsay, according to the law.
