I am not sure that the previous answer provides you with the information you need. In a criminal case, the district attorney has several different ways to introduce evidence of a crime. Some of these should have been explained to you by your attorney.

Each case is a mix of facts in the background of law. If you need assistance or have more questions, you can contact me.
