Analysis of the Evaluation of Physical Evidence in Criminal Proceedings
( Pp. 154-159)

Research objective. This article discusses the assessment of material evidence as an important element in making a procedural decision in a criminal case, and also compares it with other types of evidence. Based on the study of criminal procedural legislation and prosecutorial practice, it was revealed that physical evidence, through their collection, careful examination and inclusion in a criminal case, can reflect the circumstances of the crime committed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the use of physical evidence to identify and establish the circumstances of the criminal process and other circumstances relevant to the criminal case. Conclusions. The article states that the process of evaluating physical evidence acts as a complex system for asserting the authenticity of this evidence, and its comparability in criminal proceedings, as well as establishing the value in the evidentiary process. The conducted research shows that the assessment of material evidence occurs throughout the entire investigation and is ultimately fixed by a court decision, while one of the main tasks of the investigator is performed - establishing a connection between the event and material evidence.
