Evidence
ev·i·dence
/ˈevədəns/
noun
This is information provided in the form of documents or testimony and is used to persuade the jury/judge to find in favor of one party over the other.
There was not enough evidence to convict the defendant of the crime.
Synonyms: proof, confirmation, verification, substantiation, corroboration, affirmation, attestation
Exclusionary Rule
ex·clu·sion·ar·y rule
/ikˈsklo͞oZHəˌnerē ˌro͞ol/
noun
This relates to evidence found to have been obtained in violation of a criminal defendant’s statutory and constitutional rights; such evidence is to be ‘excluded’ and is inadmissible in court.
Because the suppressed evidence was not the product of an illegal seizure, the exclusionary rule does not apply.
Synonyms: rule of evidence
