 Corpus delicti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corpus delicti (Latin: "body of crime") is a term from Western jurisprudence which refers to the principle that it must be proven that a crime has occurred, before a person can be convicted of committing the crime.
Likewise, in order for a person to be tried for arson, it must be proven that a criminal act resulted in the burning of a property.
Evidence in the case of British serial killer John George Haigh indicated that he decided to destroy the bodies of his victims with acid because he had the mistaken belief that, in the absence of a corpse, murder could not be proven because there was no corpus delicti.

There must be, in addition to the confession, proof of the corpus delicti, and, where the corpus delicti is established by independent evidence, a conviction based upon the defendant's voluntary confession is warranted.

In every criminal prosecution, it devolves upon the state to prove, first, the corpus delicti; second, that the crime charged was committed by the accused.
In the disposition of this appeal, it is only necessary to discuss the first assignment of error presented by the defendant; that is, there is no proof of the corpus delicti, and the conviction rests solely on a contradicted extrajudicial confession.
However, it is the established rule that an extrajudicial confession alone does not warrant a conviction, unless it is corroborated by independent evidence of the corpus delicti.

Under the name of Corpus Delicti, twenty-four Los Angeles-based dancers came together to use their art and their bodies to protest war with Iraq.
Beginning as an expression of protest to U.S. occupation and the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the dance form has developed over the years, holding on to its signature white body makeup and ecstatically slow, often grotesque, body gestures.
