ABSTRACT
Evidence is the fundamental element upon which all criminal cases are built. It is also the data that determines the conclusion of every criminal case. Evidence is of paramount importance in the evaluation of FDP. The value of evidence within this evaluation is attributed to how the court views the evidence, evidence strength and (type), and the court’s reaction to it. Courts must determine that a crime took place and that the suspect (defendant) was responsible for the crime. There are seven basic types of evidence: toxicology, pathology, statistics (repeated instances), inconsistencies, confession, eyewitness, and evidence of attendance (access)[1] (Figure 7.1).
