Abstract:
Evidence is an important concept/term in the crimi-
nal procedure to incorporate all elements in a case to reveal whet-
her there is a crime. In this study, twenty judges have been inter-
viewed in order to understand the impact of this concept on jud-
ges’ evidence assessments and their decisions-making processes.
Judges participated to the study were working in various courts
in Ankara such as Criminal Peace Court (five judges), Criminal Co-
urt (five judges), Severe Criminal Court (six judges), Juvenile Court
(two judges), Traffic Court (one judge) and one execution judge.
The interview questions are divided into two main groups:
the acceptance stage of indictment and the trial stage. In the first
part, judges were asked questions about the evidence collection
and indictments prepared at the investigation stage; maximum
of 15-day period given by the law for examining the indictment;
relevance of evidence obtained at the investigation stage. In the
second part, the questions were about principle of circumstantial
evidence; classifying evidence; establishing relationship betwe-
en accused and evidence; benefitting from forensic science and
technological opportunities to evaluate evidence at trial stage;
obtaining, tracking and protecting of evidence; selecting experts;
hearing juveniles, victims and witnesses who were 18 years old and
under; judicial process; face-to-face principle in criminal trial; fin-
ding and using evidence by defense and the benefit of the doubt
principle.
In the light of the responses, this study has emphasized that
the court case file should be presented with sufficient evidence,
that prosecution and the courts should specialize in their fields,
that the technical and scientific capacities of people and instituti-
ons which give expertise and expert reports have to be increased,
that the length of time within the trial process is sufficient, and
that investigation and prosecution stages complement one anot-
her.
