Marked out of 1.00
Consider the following statements about real evidence and choose the correct option:
A. 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.
B. Blood and tissue, as well as DNA, are examples of expert evidence that need to be explained by someone with
knowledge in this regard.
C. 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.
D. The behaviour of an accused in court will sometimes constitute real evidence.
