Evidence

EVIDENCE

Evidence presented in court must be directly related to your charge. The rules governing evidence (Common Law, the basis of our judicial system) began in Britain during the 16th century. Even though the rules regarding evidence have been modified to reflect modern times, they are still extremely complicated. In short: the prosecution must establish that the evidence presented pertains specifically to the charges against you, each juror must prove neutrality, each juror must swear to being unbiased, and must advise the court of any immediate knowledge of the dispute.
