Legal evidence

Legal evidence refers to information or materials presented in a court to support or challenge the facts of a case. This can include physical objects, documents, witness testimony, or digital data. The purpose of evidence is to help the judge or jury determine what truly happened. It must be relevant to the case and obtained legally to be admissible in court. Evidence provides the foundation for making informed decisions and ensuring justice is served by establishing facts beyond a reasonable doubt or by a preponderance of the evidence, depending on the case type.
