Criminal Evidence, Tenth Edition, is primarily a textbook for studying the evidentiary framework in the administration of criminal justice. It contains materials that relate to general evidence law used by the state and federal justice systems along with frequent references to the Federal Rules of Evidence as a benchmark of how the law of evidence applies in particular situations. Evidentiary principles are embedded in criminal cases and in textual references involving murder, robbery, assault, battery, and other crimes. Using a criminal prosecution context, the book presents the traditional rules of evidence that often affect criminal cases encountered by lawyers, police, and criminal justice professionals. The book is organized into two parts. Part I deals with the development of rules of evidence and the study of criminal evidence. It explains the meaning of concepts such as the burden of proof, judicial notice, presumptions, inferences, and stipulations. It also discusses the rules and exceptions that govern the admissibility of evidence and the competency of witnesses in criminal trials. Part II provides judicial decisions relating to the specific legal principles discussed in Part I.
