Stage 11 Report writing and presentation of evidence in court

Stage 11 Report writing and presentation of evidence in court.

In this stage the final decision is made and the criminal is sentenced guilty or not guilty. The officer who has been working on the case will bring all his information together and put it into a case file. This information is things such as evidence, witness statements, photographs, questions and answers from people and the links they made in further steps. This information is then argued against with the other side which is to prove the person un guilty. This is usually the person and the lawyer and the lawyer will have evidence and information as well. A CPS is present for the whole case and will prosecute in court 1. Then the defence follows up and summarise but the judge makes the final decision. The decision will depend on which ever case has the most evidence and is most trustworthy. When the judge makes the decision the guilty person will be prosecuted or released if they are un guilty. This stage is the most important because without it a criminal wouldn’t be prosecuted and put away for the crime they committed this is the final stage and enables the whole investigation to conclude. If this stage was doing incorrectly, for example if the evidence was overlooked in court and not counted because it was contaminated a person may be set free who actually committed a crime because the evidence wasn’t strong enough to prosecute them. This is also most significant because it is the conclusion of the case. During court cases media try to get in and get the final story for the papers which they have been building up to. This is because people will want to read this story and find out the judgement that was made. But due to the media getting it out to the rest of the world it can cause ethical issues as people may believe the wrong judgement was made. This is the main part which can cause a successful outcome because depending on how the evidence and information are portrayed to the judge a different analysis is made. If the evidence is more clear and supporting than the other defences the defence will win the trial. So the successful outcome depends on all the other steps put together but also depends on how successful and appealing the presentation of evidence in court is.

In my case the evidence of the 158 microscopic blood particles where shown and the informational evidence from the family was presented and Sion Jenkins was prosecuted for the murder or Bille-Jo Jenkins and put away for life. But in later years he did an appeal because he was still claiming to be innocent. In the court case the defence said the 158 microscopic blood parts where from attacking Billie-Jo but the other defence claimed it was because he held Billie-Jo and she splattered them on him as she died trying to breathe. Due to him starting another appeal he was taken out of prison after 6 years and the judge decided he will not go back to prison because there was not enough evidence against him to prove he murdered her. Anthony Scrivener who was Jenkins counsellor claims that fresh evidence would try to be found and help towards a further appeal. Because there was the blood splatter of evidence found on Sion Jenkins he was accused but they overlooked any other evidence by just focusing on the evidence they found on him which was later researched and proved to be due to the lung exhalation of blood from Billie-Jo as he cradled her. This could have been the reason that Bille-Jo was wrongly accused of being guilty when he could have been not guilty.
