| description | The ethnographic research shows that the truth in criminal court (the court of assizes) is provided by the taking of adjusted evidence until the end of the proceedings. The hearing allows the accused and the complainant to point out their facts and to understand the meaning of the sentence. This process of the emergence of the truth applies to ordinary law cases but also to terrorist cases. In both cases, the judges' deep(intimate) conviction is formed from the debate and the evidence obtained at the hearing. While obtaining evidence is the experimental method (observation of the facts and verification of the hypotheses raised by the facts) the judges' decision results from the interpretation of this evidence. After describing the process of the emergence of evidence at the hearing, we will show that a case tried at trial and on appeal can produce two judicial truths, two different judgments. |
