Chain of custodyIn evidentiary matters, the record of possession from original discovery until produced at trial. If the chain of custody is broken or unclear, the Evidence may be challenged as not the original or not in its original condition.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Record
1) Evidence. A written memorial made by a public officer authorized by law to perform that function, and intended to serve as evidence of something written, said, or done. 2) To record. The act of making a record.
Possession
International law. By possession is meant a country which is held by no other title than mere conquest.
Original
Contracts, practice, evidence. An authentic instrument of something, and which is to serve as a model or example to be copied or imitated. It also means first, or not deriving any authority from any other source as, original jurisdiction, original writ, original bill, and the like .
Discovery
1) International law. The act of finding an unknown country. 2) Practice, pleading. The act of disclosing or revealing by a defendant, in his answer to a bill filed against him in a court of equity. 3) Rights. The patent laws of the United States use this word as synonymous with invention or improvement of July 4, 1836.
Trial
Practice., The examination before a competent tribunal, according to the laws, of the land, of the facts put in issue in a cause, for the purpose of determining such issue.
Custody
The detainer of a person by virtue of a lawful authority.
Evidence
Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.
Condition
Persons. The situation in civil society which creates certain relations between the individual, to whom it is applied, and one or more others, from which mutual rights and obligations arise.
