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 is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
