The judge presiding over the case decides what may be entered as evidence. The main criteria for allowing any evidence is how it was obtained and if it directly relates to the case. Judges generally view video evidence in their chambers with the legal counsel for both sides present before they rule whether it will be allowed to be presented in open court.


Is a debate similar to a court case?

All court cases arise out of a debate, but court cases are a minority of debates. A debate is an argument where both sides substantiate their claims with evidence and usually have allotted times to make and present their views. A court case is a debate that occurs in front of a judge where both sides try to make the claim that a certain set of facts makes it clear that a person either violated the law or did not violate the law.


Does the prosecution and the defense present evidence?

Yes, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence in a trial. The prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense presents evidence to create doubt or support the defendant's innocence. Both sides have the opportunity to call witnesses, introduce documents or physical evidence, and present arguments to support their case.


What happens if someone requests evidence in court but the prosecutors fail to present it?

You cannot "request evidence." If the prosecution does not introduce it at trial then there is nothing for the defense to request. If the defense has its own evidence they may introduce that. During the 'discovery' phase of the trial both sides will have, should have, listed all the evidence they intended to introduce. However, the failure of one side or the other to actually introduce it does not open the door for the opposition to demand that it be introduced.


What is the difference between testimonial and physical evidence?

Evidence in criminal law is any item or testimony that assists in the proof of a prosecution or defense.

Real evidence is physical evidence, such as a gun, a fingerprint, a photograph, or DNA machine, different from testimonial evidence because it not physical object only is the testimony of a witness.

What if the judge accepted false evidence in the small claim court?

It is YOUR contention that the proof presented was false. Did you object when the "evidence" was presented by the other side? Were you present in court when the case was heard? If not, the claimant won the case by default. If you were present and the judge accepted the other sides claims, you could file a motion to re-open the case (or file an appeal) and attempt to prove your allegation. In small claims court both sides represent themselves at the hearing. However, if your action has the effect of taking the case out of Small Claims Court - although you could still appear pro se - realistically at that point you would probably begin to need legal counsel. It is up to you to weigh the benefits versus the cost of fighting the action. Until then, the courts judgment stands, and you are liable for whatever was awarded.
