Legal Vocabulary: Exculpatory Evidence

Exculpatory evidence is evidence that shows that the defendant did not commit the crime.

According to Wikipedia, “In many countries, including the United States, police and prosecutors are required to disclose to the defendant exculpatory evidence they possess before the defendant enters a plea (guilty or not guilty).

Per the Brady v. Maryland decision, prosecutors have a duty to disclose exculpatory evidence even if not requested to do so. While the prosecution is not required to search for exculpatory evidence and must disclose only the evidence in its possession, custody, or control, the prosecution’s duty is to disclose all information known to any member of its team.”

Here are some Briefs:
Option #1: exculpatory= EX/KUL/PA/TO*ER
Option #2: exculpatory= EX/KUPL/A/TO*ER
Option #3: exculpatory= EX/KUPL/TO*ER
Option #4: exculpatory= EX/KURPLT

“Success is built on a foundation of hard work. Success is about staying focused. Never quitting. Overcoming obstacles. Obstacles will inevitably appear, but if you’re sure of what you’re doing and steady in your pursuit, you will overcome them. The strength of your conviction will knock them down.” Laila Ali

Love, Speed & Accuracy,
