What is probative value. Which has more probative value or individual or class evidence?
Probative value refers to the ability of a piece of evidence to make a fact more or less probable in a legal context. Individual evidence, which is unique to a specific source (like a fingerprint), generally has more probative value than class evidence, which can only indicate a group (like a type of shoe print). This is because individual evidence can directly link a suspect to a crime, while class evidence lacks that specificity.
What is probative value?
the tendency of a given item of evidence to prove or disprove one of the legal elements of the case
How can fibers have probative value?
Fibers can have probative value in forensic investigations because they can be transferred between people and objects, connecting them to a specific location or individual. By analyzing the physical and chemical characteristics of fibers, forensic experts can provide evidence to help link a suspect to a crime scene or victim. Fibers can be compared and matched to those found on a suspect's clothing or at a crime scene, strengthening the case against them.
An indictment has significant probative value?
Prosecutors can use indictment to show that the accusation and the probative value of evidences are significant or to use indictment to get a plea bargain. Significance of an indictment is only as significant of the alleged crime, the existence of evidence with probative value, and the sentence being sought. Whether the charge leads to a trial depends on the outcome of Preliminary Hearing. The prosecutor has to prove during the "preliminary hearing" that 1) there is enough evidence with probative value to convict the accused; and 2) it would be in the public's interest to conduct the trial and convict the accused. If a charge is brought on through indictment, the accused is entitled for a trial by jury. In Canada minor insignificant accusations can also be charged through indictment. In insignificant cases the value of indictment would probably be in the plea bargain as it does not make sense to try an insignificant case in a trial by jury.
What types of items can increase the probative value of soil?
Some types of items that can increase the probative value of soil include artifacts, biological materials (such as pollen or seeds), trace evidence (like fibers or hair), and chemical residues (such as drugs or explosives). These items can help provide information about past activities, environmental conditions, or potential sources of contamination.
What does the word evidence mean?
Evidence refers to matters which tend to prove an alleged fact. It is often put forward to establish a fact in an inquiry into the past, whether historical, academic or forensic. Evidence generally falls into three categories: eyewitness testimony, documentary evidence, and physical evidence. Eyewitness testimony is someone's account of what they have seen or heard. Documentary evidence consists of letters, official records, and the like. Physical evidence is the kind of evidence found by Sherlock Holmes or CSI: objects which are associated with the inquiry.Evidence can be considered weak or strong generally on two bases: reliability and probative value. Reliability means the likelihood that the evidence itself has been faked or is otherwise inaccurate, while probative value means how strong the connection between the evidence and the fact it is meant to prove. Eyewitness evidence generally has good probative value (depending on what exactly is being said) but dubious reliability. Physical evidence is very reliable, but its probative value is often questionable.So, in an inquiry into a workplace accident, a statement by one worker that he saw the injured worker acting contrary to the safety rules is eyewitness testimony, the record of when the worker signed in for his shift is documentary, and the machine which malfunctioned is physical evidence.Often people mistake argument for evidence. "He couldn't have caused the accident because he has been an employee for 10 years and never had an accident before" is an argument, not evidence.
Which fiber has tha more probative value a polyester or an acrylic fiber?
Polyester does
Who determines the significance of physical evidence in trial?
The judge is responsible for determining the significance of physical evidence in a trial. They assess whether the evidence is relevant, reliable, and admissible. The judge considers arguments from both parties, weighs the probative value of the evidence against its prejudicial effect, and ultimately decides if the evidence can be presented to the jury and how much weight it should be given.
What rule is evidence not admissible?
Evidence may be deemed inadmissible under several rules, primarily the relevance rule, which states that evidence must be directly related to the case at hand. Additionally, evidence can be excluded if it violates rules against hearsay, is based on prejudicial material that outweighs probative value, or if it was obtained unlawfully, such as through an illegal search and seizure. Each jurisdiction may have specific rules and exceptions that further define admissibility.
Would small glass fragments be considered class evidence or individual evidence that can be uniquely associated with a broken bottle?
Small glass fragments are generally considered class evidence because they can be associated with a specific type or brand of bottle based on their physical characteristics, such as color, thickness, and refractive index. However, if the fragments are large enough and exhibit unique features, such as specific patterns of fracture or markings that match precisely with a broken bottle, they could be considered individual evidence. In forensic analysis, the context and the ability to match fragments to a specific source play a crucial role in determining their evidential value.
What is class interval?
The class interval is the maximum possible value in the class less the maximum possible value in the class below. The second is equivalent to the minimum possible value in the class.
Does a large value for an F-ratio indicate that the null hypothesis is wrong?
I'm not really sure what the F-ratio is, but we just finished null and alternative ratios in our AP stats class. In our class, we calculuated a p-value, and if that value is smaller than the alpha-value (significance level) you have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Sorry if this doesn't help.
