Beyond reasonable doubt. On the balance of probabilities. Two standards of proof that underpin law, order and justice. Or do they?
With two court systems, two standards of proof, One Evidence Act and whole lot of words with different interpretation, it's fair to say most of us know very little about the law.
As the conversation unfolds, there is a moment - four words worth noting - "codified across the states."
What does it mean? A key piece of the injustice puzzle that almost slipped past?
Post recording, and a little more curiosity, another question came to mind. When parliament codifies evidence rules, does it hand significant power to the legislature to define what can and cannot be heard or admitted in court?
And, another, 'If yes, is it fair to say that evidence is doctored?'
A conversation that courageously flows into must-know territory and your own questions about the law.
