In murder cases, prosecutors must present evidence proving that the accused person committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Several types of evidence may be used during a homicide investigation.

Forensic Evidence

Forensic evidence may include DNA, fingerprints, ballistic analysis, and other scientific testing used to connect individuals to a crime scene.

Witness Testimony

Witnesses may provide statements about what they saw, heard, or experienced during the incident.

Surveillance Footage

Security cameras and other video recordings can play a role in reconstructing events surrounding the alleged crime.

Digital Evidence

Phone records, text messages, and social media activity may be used as evidence in some cases.

Physical Evidence

Weapons, clothing, and other objects recovered during an investigation may also be introduced in court.

Because evidence must meet legal standards to be admissible, a defense attorney may challenge how evidence was collected and handled.
