A person can not be charged with an offense or crime based on noting but hear say. There has to be evidence to convict a person. A judge determines the final outcome.
No.
Hearsay testimony is not admissable.
Yes, unless the judge rules it inadmissable for some good reason.
Perhaps - but it is not a certain thing that it would be admissable. Maybe only if the individual giving the deposition had died prior to the trial, and that it then became the 'next best'evidence. If the person was still living, almost certainly not. If the person who gave the deposition for the civil trial was still living, they would be required to appear in person in a criminal trial.
Yes! If you are a suspect of stabbing someone and the police officers arrest you and out of the blue you said " that son of a gun deserves it, I should've used a gun to blow his head off instead." That is considered as a made statement admissable at the trial.
Hearsay is not allowed at trial because it is considered unreliable and lacks the opportunity for cross-examination. Allowing hearsay as evidence could potentially lead to the introduction of false or misleading information, which could impact the fairness and accuracy of the legal process.
hearsay
No, definitely not. Except for extremely narrow and defined circumstances, affidavits are considered "hearsay" and are not admissable as 'best evidence." Best evidence would be the testimony. in person, of the individual who gave the affidavit. Such a personal appearance allows the opposing side to cross-examine the witness. You can't cross-examine a piece of paper.
My Trial as a War Criminal was created in 1949.
The sides in a civil trial are the same as a criminal trial. There is a plaintiff and a defendant. In a criminal trial the plaintiff is usually the jurisdictioni charging the defendant.
Barabbas was the criminal that was released at the trial of Jesus.
In the United States, the criminal trial comes first, then comes the civil trial. (In some states, such as North Carolina, civil penalties can be accessed at the criminal trial.)
