KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Insufficient Evidence
Insufficient evidence refers to a situation where the available evidence does not justify a particular legal conclusion. In criminal cases, this most often arises where evidence is inadequate to support a conviction.
Judges have a duty to intervene where evidence is insufficient, directing acquittal where appropriate. This protects defendants from wrongful conviction and upholds the presumption of innocence.
