Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to enable students to master the basics of evidence in criminal proceedings in the sense and according to the applicable legislation of criminal procedural law. This is because one of the two most important and essential activities of the ČTŘ in fulfilling the purpose of the criminal code is precisely evidence. Through it, the ČTŘ recognizes an act that is the subject of criminal proceedings and does so through a specific procedure, which is evidence. Pursuant to the provisions of § 1 of Act 141/1961 Coll. as amended, in addition to the OCTŘ, the parties participate in this process and at the same time cooperate with them in ascertaining the facts of the case, about which there are no reasonable doubts, § 2 paragraph 5 of the TŘ. The purpose of this entire procedural procedure is also to ensure the right to a fair trial of the person against whom criminal proceedings are being conducted, which is also one of its most important purposes. The teaching will be focused mainly on mastering the basic concepts and principles of evidence, which are based on the basic principles of the entire criminal procedure as they are applied in the individual stages of evidence. OČŘ uses the partial results of the proof to choose the next procedure to the final result. This procedure always determines the outcome of the criminal process, the correctness, justice and persuasiveness of the decision, and thus, understandably, its educational effect within the framework of individual and general crime prevention. The teaching of this subject is aimed at understanding and mastering the issue of evidence in criminal proceedings.
