The disclosure of evidence is a crucial aspect of ensuring fair trials in the UK criminal justice system.
The prosecution must disclose all evidence they intend to use against the defendant and provide access to any unused material relevant to the case.
Definition: Unused material refers to any information that may undermine the prosecution's case or assist the defense, even if not presented in court.
Failure to disclose evidence can have serious consequences:
Example: The Liam Allan case in 2017 demonstrates the impact of non-disclosure. His rape trial was halted when undisclosed evidence showed the alleged victim pursuing him for casual sex.
The increasing importance of digital evidence presents new challenges for disclosure:
Highlight: Police may not read every text message on a phone, potentially missing evidence that could clear a suspect.
The proper handling and disclosure of evidence is essential to prevent perverting the course of justice and ensure fair trials in the UK criminal justice system.

The admissibility of evidence in criminal proceedings UK is governed by strict rules to ensure fair trials. Key points include:
Evidence must be both relevant and admissible to be used in court. This is based on Section 28 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
Definition: Relevant facts are those needed to prove or disprove the facts in issue, which are the principal matters in dispute in a case.
The reliability of evidence is crucial, encompassing:
Example: Sir Roy Meadow's evidence on cot deaths was later found to be inaccurate and unreliable, highlighting the importance of accuracy in expert testimony.
Not all evidence is allowed in court. Judges may exclude:
Highlight: The court balances the probative value of evidence against its potential prejudicial effect when deciding admissibility.
While suspects have the right to remain silent, the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 allows juries to draw inferences from silence in certain circumstances.
Quote: "The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 means the jury can make inferences about the defendant's guilt if they're silent."
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 defines bad character as "evidence of or disposition towards misconduct." This can include previous convictions or cautions.
Vocabulary: Character evidence refers to information about a person's past behavior or reputation used to assess their credibility or likelihood of committing a crime.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
