	Evidence (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evidence must be relevant — that is, it must have a tendency to make a fact at issue in the proceeding be more or less probable than it would be without the evidence.
		The bulk of the law of evidence regulates the types of evidence that may be sought from witneseses and the manner in which the interrogation of witnesses is conducted during direct examination and cross-examination of witnesses.
		These include the exclusionary rule of criminal procedure, which prohibits the admission in a criminal trial of evidence gained by unconstitutional means, and the parol evidence rule of contract law, which prohibits the admission of extrinsic evidence of the contents of a written contract.

	Supreme Court of Ohio / Ohio Rules of Court / Rules of Evidence
		Evidence of the habit of a person or of the routine practice of an organization, whether corroborated or not and regardless of the presence of eyewitnesses, is relevant to prove that the conduct of the person or organization on a particular occasion was in conformity with the habit or routine practice.
		When evidence of a witness's conviction of a crime is admissible under this rule, the fact of the conviction may be proved only by the testimony of the witness on direct or cross-examination, or by public record shown to the witness during his or her examination.
		Evidence of the beliefs or opinions of a witness on matters of religion is not admissible for the purpose of showing that by reason of their nature his credibility is impaired or enhanced.

	The Law and Science of Evidence
		Both law and science relied on the development and control of a special disciplined space regarded as public but in fact sustained by its limited access, a space in which experimental, discursive, and social practices were controlled by competent members.
		Simon Greenleaf, who compiled the first American treatise on evidence in 1842, praised "the symmetry and beauty of this branch of the law," and, quoting Lord Erskine, noted that its principles were "founded in the charities of religion, in the philosophy of nature, in the truths of history, and in the experience of common life."
		The only method of ascertaining the common law upon any given question is by a collation of the reported decisions upon similar or analogous cases, and, after deducing from them the general rule by which they were determined, then applying it to the point under consideration.

		The court allowed evidence of boys 1 and 2 to support the evidence of boy 3 as the prejudice to D in admitting evidence was not outweighed by the probative force due to the striking similarity of each offence.
		Also, in addition, it is a well settled principle that the evidence may be admitted and yet the jury warned about the chances of collusion and allowed to formulate their own minds as to it.
		Thus, as the law stands now, as regards the Defendant, the general rule is that no evidence can be adduced to show that he is of bad character unless it is similar fact evidence, or whether the accused has put his character in issue.

	LEGAL APOLOGETICS: PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF EVIDENCE AS APPLIED IN THE QUEST FOR THE VERACITY OF RELIGIOUS TRUTH
		Harvard Law School Professor, Simon Greenleaf in the opening paragraph of his article, Testimony of the Evangelist, clearly explained that ‘in examining the evidences of the Christian religion, it is essential to the discovery of truth’, that one investigate with a free mind, ‘from existing prejudice, and open to conviction.
		Because it is the function of evidential law to strife for justice even ‘to the end that the truth may be ascertained’[9] or at least to establish that a version of what occurred has an acceptable probability of being correct, its application is utmost useful in the quest for the veracity of any religious truth.
		In relation to the law of evidence, it refers to any rule of law or practice which requires that certain kinds of evidence be confirmed or supported by other, independent evidence, in order to be sufficient to sustain a given result.
