Answer 1

It's evidence that shows there is a case to be made.

Answer 2

Prima facie (circumstantial) evidence is evidence that establishes a fact in the abscence of acceptable evidence to the contrary. In other words, this evidence raises the presumption of a fact or establishes the fact in question unless it is disputed. For example, suppose their is a motor vehicle accident. prima facie evidence of impairment would be. I won't provide an example as the laws are different from country to country as to what is considered prima facie. However, the concepts are should be the same. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

From 'The Random House College Dictionary': evidence sufficient to establish a fact, or to raise a presumption of fact, unless rebutted.

Example 1: You get charged with stealing a car. You claim to have purchased the car three months ago. The police present the current title to the vehicle with someone else's name on it. That is primae facie evidence that you do not own the vehicle. The fact is established unless you rebut it with other evidence, such as a bill of sale and proof of payment, letter from the Dept of Licensing saying your title transfer was lost in processing, etc.

Example 2: If you enter the U.S. as a 'visitor' and apply to change status to 'spouse of a U.S. citizen' within 120 days, according to an immigration attourney I used to know, that application is prima facie evidence, per case law, that you committed 'fraud and misrepresentation' at your application for admission.

Answer 4

" Prima Facia "= When Law Enforcement are involved in a situation where they "Believe" that a Criminal act has been committed, misdemeanour or felony, the officer in control of the call is responsible for making a decision on whether or not to arrest the person believed to have committed the offence. The arrest is made with "Prima Facia" Cause. Meaning the Officer believes He has enough evidence against the offender to go forth with Criminal Charges to the District Attorney. Hope this helps.
GOD BLESS/GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

Evidence impression at first view. For example, A man helping a downed officer after he has been shot, picks up the officer's gun, and just about that time, a squad car pulls up and sees the guy over the downed office with a gun in his hand. The squad car officers has reason to belive that he is the perpetrator, but in reality, he is NOT.

Answer 6

Wow, some of the worst explainations ever
1. That a crime has taken place
2. That it is within your jurisdiction
3. That the defendant probably committed it
