Does this include statements made under duress?
- mmelin 17y agoYes. There are two parts to this: parties in a trial are free to present any evidence to the court, no matter how it was obtained. However, the court alone decides the value of the evidence presented, and thus the weight it places in such evidence. Obviously statements from people suspected to be coerced in some way is not considered high-value evidence.
