Evidence in law, is the testimony of
witnesses and production of documents and
other material in court proceedings, in order
to prove or disprove facts at issue in the
case. Witnesses must swear or affirm that
their evidence is true. In English law,
giving false evidence is the crime of
perjury. Documentary evidence has a wide
scope including maps, soundtracks, and films,
in addition to documents in writing. Objects
such as weapons used in crimes may serve as
evidence.
