ABSTRACT

Dislocated in between two worlds of mysterious violence, the laws of Criminal Evidence hold a unique place in all penal systems.3 Judicial pronouncements of the sentence generate from a violation of substantive law, a breach necessitating evidence of the event. Thus it is that evidence connects the violation of the law, of a criminal code, to the violence of punishment. However the usual history of the evolution of the modem trial procedure assumes that the rules of evidence are discrete, disjunctive and disengaged from Criminal Law.4 The place of evidence is merely supplementary to the substantial rules and exist in order to prove facts to which those substantive laws may be applied.
