Basic Construction of Crime and Innocence

Written in March, 2011

In trials, while one side tries to prove the guilt of the other side, which is prosecution, the other side tries to prove its innocence, the defence. Both sides strive to construct their own stories in a consistent way around the evidences. Each side can have different strategies in the constructing of their stories but story of the prosecution must involve presence, action and state of mind to prove the guiltiness of the defendant with evidences. In return to this, defence struggle to challenge or deny presence, action or state of mind which has demonstrated by the prosecution.
