Consider the following statements about real evidence and choose the
correct option: When fingerprints are used, an enlargement of the accused's
fingerprint is compared in court with that of a fingerprint found at the scene
of the crime. If seven points of similarity are found, this will usually amount
to proof upon a balance of probabilities that the same person made the two
sets of prints. Blood and tissue, as well as DNA, are examples of expert
evidence that need to be explained by someone with knowledge in this
regard. The behaviour of an accused in court will sometimes constitute real
evidence. When footprints are used as evidence, an enlargement of the
accused’s footprint is compared in court with that of a footprint found at the
scene of the crime. If seven points of similarity are found, this will usually
amount to proof beyond reasonable doubt that the same person made the
two sets of prints. Consider the following statements regarding the onus of
proof in criminal and civil matters and choose the correct option: The onus of
proof rests on the state throughout a criminal trial, but the evidentiary
burden sometimes shifts onto the accused, for instance when the state has
established a good prima facie case. The incidence of the onus of proof is an
issue that is determined by the procedural law. In both criminal and civil
cases, the evidentiary burden is only relevant at the end of a trial. In criminal
cases, the state always bears the onus of proof regarding all issues and
defences. A shoots and kills his wife’s lover in his wife’s presence and is
subsequently charged with murder. A's wife is a witness. A's wife is ... both
an identifying witness and a single witness. incompetent to testify on behalf
of the state. only a single witness. only an identifying witness. Consider the
following statements regarding marital privilege and choose the correct
option: A third party that overhears a conversation between two spouses
cannot testify about that communication in a court of law. Marital privilege
belongs to the party who made a specific communication. Marital privilege
applies to communications made during the marriage. If the spouses get
divorced, that privilege will no longer apply to communications made during
the marriage. During a domestic violence dispute, a husband points a gun at
his wife and verbalises his intention to kill her and the children. In a following
criminal case, the wife can be compelled to testify about the pointing of the
gun but can refuse to testify about what the husband said to her during the
, dispute. The complainant, an alcoholic, alleges that she was raped in an
ambulance by an assistant who claims that the complainant consented to
the sexual intercourse. At the hospital, she repeatedly alleged rape and was
overheard by a nurse. During the trial, the complainant, suffering from
alcoholic amnesia, cannot remember her repeated statements. Consider the
following options and choose the correct answer: Her statements at the
hospital are inadmissible self-serving statements that cannot be admitted
because of the rule against self-corroboration. Her statements at the hospital
are inadmissible hearsay. Her statements at the hospital are admissible
previous consistent statements because it shows her state of mind at the
time of the rape. Her statements at the hospital are admissible hearsay.
Consider the following statements about admissions and choose the correct
option: Formal admissions in civil matters can be withdrawn without
permission from the court. Formal admissions in criminal matters are so
called because a magistrate must formally confirm and reduce them to
writing before the trial commences. Evidence about an involuntary pointing
out will be admissible if a relevant fact is discovered because of such a
pointing out. Section 218(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977
essentially states that evidence of any fact may be admitted at criminal
proceedings, notwithstanding that the witness discovered such fact only in
consequence of information given by an accused in a confession or
statement which is not admissible. Consider the following statements about
corroboration and choose the correct option: When a party is required to
corroborate specific evidence, it means that he or she will carry a larger
evidentiary burden than usual. Documentary evidence can never serve as
corroborative evidence. All South African legal rules with respect to
corroboration are derived from Canadian law. Evidence, which is normally
inadmissible, may become admissible if the only purpose of it is to
corroborate other evidence. Consider the following statements about
admissions and confessions and choose the correct option: A subjective test
is used to determine whether a statement is an admission, and an objective
test is used to determine whether such a statement was voluntarily made. A
confession which was voluntarily made, but which is inadmissible because
some other requirement for admissibility was not met, may still be
admissible if it is relevant and contains an admission. A statement that is
meant to be exculpatory can be an admission if, in the end, it is to the
detriment of the maker thereof. A statement is a confession if it was freely
and voluntarily made by a person in his sound and sober senses and without
having been unduly influenced thereto. A 14-year-old complainant was raped
by two young men. At the time of the rape she did not report the matter to
her parents or lay charges, but briefly told Vanessa, a friend, about the
incident. Nineteen years later the complainant accidentally met one of her
assailants. These revived memories of her ordeal and prompted her to lay
charges against the men who raped her. The complainant testifies during the
case. Consider the following statements and choose the correct option:
Vanessa's evidence is evidence about a previous consistent statement.
