The evidence was circumstantial and not enough to prove any guilt.
Exculpatory evidence at trial is evidence which helps to prove the innocence of the person on trial. The opposite word is inculpatory, evidence which proves his guilt.
The defense do not have to prove anything, if the prosecution fail to prove guilt, then the defendant is not guilty (in an ideal world). It may be the case thaat a jury may find guilt when a charge has not really been adequately proved to be true, but in this case the judge must direct them to find "not guilty" through lack of evidence.
Relevant evidence is ANY evidence which will tend to prove either the guilt (or innocence) of the defendant on trial. Therefore, anything that is not NOT relevant is NOT EVIDENCE and will not be admitted.
No. Evidence is only presented if the prosecutor and defender need to argue the case. The evidence is only used to prove guilt or innocence.
There is more evidence to prove her innocence than proving her guilt.
Yes, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence in a trial. The prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense presents evidence to create doubt or support the defendant's innocence. Both sides have the opportunity to call witnesses, introduce documents or physical evidence, and present arguments to support their case.
What specifically are you asking about? Admission of guilt? Eyewitnesses? Videotape? Fingerprint evidence, DNA evidence? Apprehended with the money on you?
Of course. A prima facie case is one which is established by sufficient evidence to prove guilt and can be overthrown only by rebutting evidence produced by the other side.
probably..............I've heard of police opening up old cases and subjecting evidence to DNA to prove guilt or innocence
A criminal case is harder to prove, as the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt." A civil case only has to be by a "preponderance of the evidence" which is anything over half.
Trudi investigates Wallace's alibi, interviews potential witnesses, and reviews any available evidence to determine his innocence or guilt. She may also collaborate with law enforcement and legal professionals to gather more information for the case.
