Abstrakt
"Law – a binding custom or practice of a community: a rule of conduct or action prescribed […]
or formally recognized as binding […] enforced by a controlling authority […]. Th e courts exist
to uphold, interpret, and apply the law [1].
Justice – the legal system that a country uses in order to deal with people who break the
law […] the administration of law according to prescribed and accepted principles [2].
In accordance with these defi nitions the Courts’ objective (judges, jurors or tribunals)
is to determine whether or not the defendant who stands for trial has committed the offense
s/he is accused of. In order to render their decision, courts practically travel back
in time and re-construct and re-vive the occurrence surrounding the off ense in order
to establish the defendant where about and actions. In other words in order to serve
justice the court has to be fully aware of the case facts i.e. the “factual truth” in order
to be convinced “beyond any shadow of a doubt” that the defendant has committed
the off ense s/he is accused of."(...)
