Assessment of evidence in adopting decisions to put a criminal case

Abstract

The criminal process manifests a staged character and each of the phases of the process aims at solving certain issues and ends with the adoption of appropriate solutions. The phase of preparing the criminal case for trial is a relevant example. Assessing the evidence until the decision to prosecute is adopted is like a „filter” that prevents the passage of the criminal case to the next stage if circumstances are discovered in it. The assessment of the evidence at the stage of putting the criminal case on the register shows interest because here the bases of the activity of the court for the next stage – of the trial of the case on the merits are laid.
