YOU MUST WRITE ON THIS TOPIC:
For my research paper, I am going to combine both Week 6: Admissibility of Evidence and Week 7: Presenting Evidence in the Courtroom. For the admissibility of evidence, I am going to touch on what are the common things that officers and investigators do/can do in order to get evidence thrown out in court. For Presenting the evidence in court, I am going to touch a lot on the methods and reasoning behind waiting to include substantial evidence in the case and expert witnesses. The way the evidence is presented could be the difference between having a case thrown out or having a case proceed further.
