RELIABILITY OF EVIDENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL CRITERION OF THE EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT INSTITUTE

Ensuring the reliability of evidence is one of the most basic qualities that are assigned to persons responsible for conducting criminal cases. It is necessary to emphasize that this practice belongs to the authority of state bodies and officials responsible for conducting criminal proceedings. As participants in the criminal process, the victim and the defendant have the opportunity to object only by appealing the final decision of the bodies in question on the reliability of the evidence in accordance with the procedure established by law. Nowadays, objections to the reliability of evidence are often made through a lawyer. The reliability of evidence is a set of data corresponding to reality, free from suspicion, based on the results of the study and generalization of evidence collected by the subjects of the evaluation of evidence in the case. The correct solution to the issue of the reliability of evidence means that the principles of legality and fairness are fully respected in their assessment.
