Evidence

and what the instincts feels is right. That is how we gather evidence, by our beliefs we decide what evidence to get and put on our mind, and that is how we ended making conclusions. We make conclusion every day all day, we come to conclusions before making a decision, and specially, when we try to prove a point. Every conclusion we make is not randomly done, or carefully thought, but is a natural human thing, our brain gets the evidence that more comfortably makes it or us feel good. It sound…

Exclusionary Rules of Evidence ‘The Evidence Act 2008 (Vic) includes too many exclusionary rules to otherwise relevant evidence, and the rationales for those exclusionary rules are often questionable or unclear. As a result, useful evidence is excluded from proceedings. A better approach would be to allow the trier of fact to receive all of the available evidence and to evaluate its weight.’ Introduction The Victorian Evidence Act 2008 (‘the Act’) contains a number of provisions that prevent…

erred by considering “parol evidence to vary the effective date of the [B108 agreement] and to controvert the integration clause.” CHH, for its part, avers that the admission of parol evidence was proper because it was offered to determine whether the contract was effective. We hold that the circuit court did not violate the parole evidence rule because extrinsic evidence was not offered to add or modify any terms to the B108 agreement. Generally, parol or extrinsic evidence is inadmissible…

In ‘Forensic: Evidence, clues, and investigation by Andrea Campbell, we are being told about how Forensic Science will help you in court. Forensic science is the most important type of evidence you should present at a trial. You may have questions like, “What is Forensic science?”, “How is it used?” Maybe this essay will answer all your questions. Forensic science is often confused with criminalistics, but they are different. Forensic Science is based on the evidence they find at the crime…

The most important evidence that I would gather is clues, fingerprints, and other kind of evidence that might help me find the person who is guilty or they might just think it’s me. I will gather enough evidence and witness for myself or maybe if it is someone else that did that crime, I will tell them to get enough witness or evidences that you didn’t do it. My evidence’s would be witness, trails where I have been, and the clues where I have gone to over the weekend. So some people such as…

the place where the main evidence is present. Whereas, outer cordon notifies people that it is not safe to go beyond this point. It also tells them to stay away from the location. Only the police officer, fire brigade or crime scene officer has authority to go cross the outer cordon. Searching the crime scene Before collecting the evidence, it is necessary to search the crime scene to find evidence. This helps the crime scene officer to find out the exact number of evidence which are present at…

discuss the five key steps for first responder preservation of evidence. Law enforcement personnel understand the concept of the preservation of evidence, not only is it critical in the prosecution of a criminal case, but the position of evidence plays a factor in the forensics investigation with the cause of death or injury. Unfortunately, other emergency services personnel are not in tune with the importance of preserving evidence because it is not a primary job focus like law enforcement and…

Contamination of Biological Evidence DNA can be transferred to evidence directly or indirectly. This exchange of information between objects is based on the Locard Exchange Principle. The Locard Exchange Principle states that information is exchanged whenever two items come into contact with each other (Houck and Siegel 54). The direct transfer of DNA can be described as DNA that is “transferred from a source to a location with no intermediaries” (Houck and Siegel 55). The indirect transfer of…

Bloodstains can be key evidence to a crime because the patterns can be as unique as finger prints by giving direction, height and angel of the blood spatter. Since no one in the world has the same DNA you could figure out exactly who the blood came from and if you know where the killer or victim was you could triangulate the position of the crime. It also can give you a time frame for the crime by the way the blood coagulates and dries. There are three types of bloodstains passive stains,…

Physical Evidence Which Should You Believe In some trials you may hear about physical evidence, and hear from eyewitnesses from the crime. While Physical evidence is evidence that is collected from the scene of the crime, or found on a victim. Physical evidence can be scientifically tested, and sometimes compared against a suspect. Witness testimony primarily relies on that witness's memory, and hopefully their attention of detail. If you are a jury member how can you determine which…
