Content: Chemical evidence – If you are being prosecuted for driving under the influence (DUI), the results of your breath, urine, or blood test may be admissible as evidence at trial. Witness testimony – If someone saw you commit a crime, his or her testimony would be considered evidence against you. Confessions – Any self-incriminating statements that you make to the police may be admissible as evidence, as well. Circumstantial evidence – Were you at the scene of the crime when the crime occurred? If so, the prosecution may be able to use this as circumstantial evidence that you were involved. Electronic evidence – In computer crime, domestic violence and certain other types of cases, text messages, emails, computer files, and other types of electronic records may be admissible as evidence, as well. Keep in mind that whether something constitutes evidence and whether that evidence is admissible at trial are two completely separate questions. If the police obtained evidence against you in violation of your Constitutional rights, you may be entitled to have that evidence deemed inadmissible at trial.
