The evidence at the trial includes what each witness says in answering the questions of counsel. The questions themselves are not evidence, unless the witness agrees with a specific suggestion put to the witness in cross-examination. Adopting the suggestion of a questioner makes the witness’s adoption his evidence. The evidence also includes any items entered as exhibits. Exhibits may include photographs, documents, diagrams, sketches and actual items such as guns, drugs and drug paraphernalia.
The above is the an excerpt of Patrick J Ducharme's book, Canadian Criminal Procedure Volume 2, available at Amazon or in bulk through MedicaLegal Publishing along with Criminal Trial Strategies.
