False evidence in legal cases can be due to forgery or illegal procurement. Inadmissible evidence includes illegally obtained or improperly documented evidence. Both parties have the right to examine material evidence and challenge it if necessary. False evidence can lead to perjury charges.
False evidence is evidence presented in a legal case that cannot be legally relied upon for any number of reasons, ranging from genuine forgery of evidence to illegal means of procurement that prevents evidence from court even if it is factually valid. This can include oral testimony, as well as physical evidence. Standards of evidence are designed to rule out false evidence, but there have been a number of known cases involving questionable evidence that have resulted in convictions or acquittals in legal cases.
Inadmissible evidence includes evidence obtained illegally, such as evidence taken during an unlawful stop and search, along with evidence that was not properly documented at the time it was collected. If there are doubts about the chain of custody of the evidence, it must also be ruled out on the grounds that it may have been forged or forged. Once evidence has been collected, it must always be under the control of law enforcement, whether it is in the physical custody of an officer or in a secure secure area where evidence can be stored. If evidence is withheld without proper oversight at any time, it is compromised and cannot be used in court.
Some instances of forged evidence have involved particularly egregious examples of forgery, forgery, or forgery in which law enforcement or prosecutors were directly involved in withholding information about the evidence that would have led to his disqualification. Sometimes evidence is dismissed on false grounds and this can cause harm equal to a case. The exoneration or eventual conviction of evidence withheld out of court can have a profound impact on the outcome of the trial.
Both parties in a case have the right to examine the material evidence presented in the courtroom. This exam gives people the opportunity to challenge evidence if they have questions or concerns, or suspect that it is false evidence. An inspection may reveal signs of forgery or tampering that could be used to argue that the evidence should be excluded. For example, if something found at a crime scene was replaced while in law enforcement custody and the defense can show that the evidence presented in court is not the actual item, that item may be barred from the trial.
When people testify on the witness stand, they swear to tell the truth. Providing false evidence can expose people to perjury charges. Forgeries can include outright lies, as well as withholdings of information. It is important to answer questions fully, accurately and completely, and statements such as “I don’t know” are appropriate if a witness generally does not know the answer. Witnesses may also ask that questions be repeated or clarified to ensure they understand what is being asked. Witnesses may be questioned by opposing counsel under the same rules that allow opposing counsel to inspect material evidence.
