There are several layers of evidentiary proceedings. Arraignment Preliminary hearing Evidentiary hearing Opening statements
Prejudicial
Preliminary hearings take place after someone has been accused of a crime. These hearings are carried out so that the judge may determine if the there is sufficient evidence for a trial. Preliminary hearings are sometimes called "evidentiary hearings."
No a hearing comes before a trial. Hearings are held so that attorneys can argue what evidence is allowed in the trial.
No. An appellate court does not hear evidence. Appellate courts review the record and determine whether or not a mistake of law has been made.
Impartial Jury
There is no such thing as a desposition hearing. If you are asking about a deposition, this is a time when the attorneys interview a witness, on the record, to get his/her testimony "nailed down" before trial. However, this is not a hearing and does not take place in court.
Unsure what is being asked. When the defense and prosecution "rest" and the case is ready to go to the jury, the judge "instructs" them in the law(s) applicable to that case before sending them into deliberation.
Before modern forensic science techniques, criminals were usually caught through witness testimonies, confessions, or physical evidence like fingerprints, footprints, and bloodstains. Investigative methods such as surveillance, stakeouts, and informants were also commonly used to apprehend suspects.
A Writ of Habeas Corpus.
You must take your objection before the probate court and the judge will make a determination after hearing testimony and reviewing any evidence.
Impeachment can refer to different legal concepts. One meaning refers to discrediting a witness by showing that he or she is not telling the truth or does not have a reliable basis for their testimony. Rules of evidence govern what type of questioning may be used to impeach a witness. Generally, unrelated evidence that the person is a" bad person" and therefore untrustworthy, is not allowed. See:http://definitions.uslegal.com/i/impeachment/ As stated above, the rules of evidence apply when attempting to impeach a witness. Therefore - hearsay evidence is NOT admissable for impeachment purposes. Added by: >128.59.182.89< : Hearsay can be used to impeach a witness for the element of truthfullness under prior inconsistent statments, but cannot be used to prove the matter under dispute. A witness may not be called solely for the purpose of being impeached as a way to get otherwise inadmissible hearsay before the jury. SEE DISCUSSION PAGE -
