Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Were you read your Miranda Rights. Did you sign a statement saying you understood these rights?
The police have to read you your rights ONLY IF they want to question you and use your answers against you later in a court of law. If you have made a statement and the police have not read you your rights AND a judge thinks that this really what happened, then your statement cannot be used against you at trial. Obviously it is going to be your word against the police. You can still be prosecuted as long as there is enough evidence without using the statement. Other than that, the police do not have to tell you anything.
Inform your attorney, who can refer the matter to the Prosecution's attention. If it can be proven, then a charge of Perjury may be brought against the officer. Without proof of a deliberate lie, it is simply up to your side to refute the officer's statement with other testimony.
Yes. They do need to complete them and provide you a copy before the trial.
After a crime has been committed, local police officers investigate the scene. They will file a police report which is reviewed by that polices station, open for review by higher stations, and contains information that will be used in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. They will report to the prosecutor the results of thieir investigation and testify at the trial as witnesses who can explain what evidence was uncovered and how it was uncovered.
Maybe.
Charles Miranda was a person who was arrested by police and not given any formal warnings as to what the consequences could be if he makes a statement to the police, especially one that incriminates himself. The two basic Miranda warnings are that you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney being present when making a statement. It further states that any time during the questioning you can remain silent and not answer any questions, the police cannot make any threats, coercion, or promises in order to induce you to make a statement: the statement must be of your own free will. It also states that you have the right to a court appointed attorney if you cannot afford one. Finally, it states that any statement you do make to the police can be used against you in trial.
If a defendant is eligible for a bench trial or trial by judge, the magistrate then has the authority to dismiss charges against the accused if evidence warrants it. If the defendant issues a written statement that he or she wishes to forgo a jury trial, the government agrees and the court approves, a bench trial can convene.
An opening statement is an oral explanation to the jury (or judge in a non-jury trial) by each side of the case outlining its theories and proofs in support of its own claims and against the other party's claims.The opening statement is made at the very start of the trial before any testimony or evidence is given or entered.
Not usually - BUT - it can depend. If the person calling in the information is a witness, then their name is not included in the public information of the report and their identity is safeguarded until the trial, so that they are free from harassment and pressure.
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.
The adjusted trial balance is a document that shows the total amount of debit balances against the total amount of credit balances. This is not considered a financial statement since it is only used as an internal document.
