Excerpt from The Rules of Evidence as Applicable to the Credibility of History To believe without any evidence at all is irrational; but to disbelieve against sufficient evidence is equally irrational. By sufficient evidence I mean such an amount of proof as satisfies and unprejudiced mind beyond all reasonable doubt. Mathematical truth alone admits of demonstration. All other kinds of truth can only be proved by probabilities, which vary in an almost infinite degree, from the faintest kind of presumption to what is called moral certainty, which is accepted as practically equivalent to demonstration. Upon evidence depends all our knowledge of past events; and it is astonishing how little is often sufficient to satisfy us. The mere fact of its being written in a book is enough to make no inconsiderable number of readers believe in the truth of a statement, without reflecting whether the author had or had not the means of ascertaining the truth; for if he had, we may be justified in putting faith in his honesty; but if he had not, his own assertion is worth nothing. By proof I mean anything that serves, either mediately or immediately, to convince the mind of the truth or falsehood of a fact or proposition; and proofs differ according to the subject-matter of the thing to be proved. One of the most common, and, at the same time, most satisfactory mode of proof as to things which do not fall within the experience of the senses is Induction, by which is meant the inference drawn from proved or admitted facts. It is for instance by induction that the general facts of Natural History are proved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What factors do jurors consider when judging the credibility of child victim-witnesses? Do they use the same standards regardless of the age of the child? The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of credibility in relation to juror perceptions of children who are witnesses in cases of sexual abuse. The sample was primarily female and included undergraduate students. A written transcript of testimony used in previous studies was used. Two distinct factors were identified. In-court competence was most relevant to perceptions of the 13- year-old child-victim witness and consisted of believability, credibility, consistency, honesty, confidence, memory, accuracy and misinterpretation. Trustworthiness was most relevant to perceptions of the 5- and 9-year-old child-victim witness and consisted of explanation, suggestion, fantasy, fabrication, revenge and misinterpretation. Different subsets of variables were important for predicting believability and credibility and for discriminating between participants who were certain of defendant guilt. Results are discussed in relation to evidence used to challenge the credibility of witnesses in a court of law.

Written with advanced undergraduate students in mind, it focuses upon the pre-trial or investigative phase of the legal process.

This second edition has been revised and updated to reflect the large amount of new research in the area, making it the essential guide for all courses with a legal component. Comment on the first edition: "This is an excellent appraisal of the psychology of evidence...it provides thorough, substantial and up-to-date accounts of modern developments." —Denniss Howitt, Loughborough University, UK Written by well known and respected authors Suitable as an introductory, undergraduate text

Cases in court are contests that turn on what can be proved or not. Judges have no special wisdom that gives them the ability to look at witnesses and divine whether they are speaking the truth. Judges follow established methods to decide the facts looking at probabilities and inconsistencies, credibility and interests to serve, sufficiency and reliability of evidence. They also seek to apply "common sense", bearing in mind that sense is not always common, and there's the issue of whose common sense should be applied.It is in this context that evidence becomes crucially important. Getting evidence in and out is the lawyer's challenge.This short book is intended to be a guide to evidence, in a practical way, for new lawyers as they navigate the civil process in their early days in court.

Learn reliable techniques to prepare and present effective testimony! “Soon after leaving graduate school I was thrown to the courtroom wolves with no preparation. No social worker should have to go through that,” says Janet Vogelsang, author of The Witness Stand. Few colleges of social work prepare their students for the inevitable involvement with the courts entailed by their profession. This timely book provides you with a blueprint for presenting yourself as a competent and credible professional in court cases. This indispensable guide tells exactly what happens in court, how to counter common strategies for discrediting your profession, and what to do when your client's attorney is obnoxious. The Witness Stand emphasizes the biopsychosocial assessment as the essential tool for a social worker called on to testify in court. Its helpful features include sample forms and affidavits and actual court testimony. The end-of-chapter summaries can be used for rapid review and as a ”to do” checklist for preparing a court case. The Witness Stand offers practical, detailed advice on such matters as: how the legal system works how to handle contacts with attorneys and investigators what to do with documents and files how to prepare your testimony how to handle direct testimony and cross-examination how to define your social work expertise on the stand what to wear when you go to court The Witness Stand can help you deal with the anxiety-provoking complexities of the legal system. Instead of being confused or intimidated by legal arcana, you will be well-prepared, well-organized, and ready to present yourself as the confident, reliable professional you are.
