Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosecuting any criminal case requires establishing corpus delicti, which is proving the crime by demonstrating proof of the act and that the act was the result of the illegal actions of the defendant. Continuance refers to the postponement of a trial or hearing, discovery refers to the exchange of information between the prosecution and defense, and trial jury refers to the panel of citizens who hear the evidence and render a verdict in a trial. None of these are directly related to proving the crime itself.
