Presentation transcript:

What is Evidence? Learning Target: Classify different types of evidence.

Direct Evidence Evidence (if true) that proves a fact and can be presented in the courtroom. Actual observation! Eye witness accounts Confessions Videos footage (security cameras, police dash cams, cell phones, etc.)

Circumstantial Evidence Used to imply a fact but does not directly prove it. The greater volume of circumstantial evidence, the greater chance of linking evidence to a specific suspect. --Inferring from collected evidence. Physical Evidence Biological Evidence

Types of Circumstantial Evidence Physical Evidence Prints Impressions Weapons Trace Chemical Documents

Types of Circumstantial Evidence Biological Evidence Body fluids Hair Bones Pollen Wood materials Bugs

Badges vs. Coats Badges - Collect evidence from the crime scene. Evidence, including the testimony of the witnesses, may be “admitted” in court and considered by the judge or jury in deciding a case ONLY if it is presented according to the rules of evidence. Coats - Analyze evidence at the lab.

What is NOT Evidence? HearsayHearsay, anything said by the lawyers, and anything that the judge has determined inadmissible is NOT evidence.
