EVIDENCE - What Is Criminal Evidence?
















When a crime is committed, the place where it was committed is often quartered off in order for detectives and investigators to evaluate whatever items are left behind. From these objects, they can assess the validity of the claims made by litigants involved. Such objects can be presented in court to a judge or jury and can be used to support statements or arguments made by lawyers. These items are referred to as criminal evidence.
Criminal evidence can come in the form of an object or item found in a crime scene or in a related location. It is also possible for witness statements in the form of testimonies to be considered as criminal evidence. The purpose of criminal evidence is to provide factual support to claims or arguments made by attorneys on behalf of their clients. Criminal evidence is meant to be a reliable source of information given that these are objective items or statements made regarding a crime or criminal incident.


Categories exist in order to specifically determine what kind of evidence is being used or presented. The first category is that of direct evidence. This type of evidence is one that is factual and true beyond any kind of reasonable doubt. On the other hand, the second category of criminal evidence is circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence can suggest some form of proof or support theories or ideas for a case. However, this type of evidence is not necessarily true beyond reasonable doubt in contrast to direct evidence.
