Reference no: EM131250228
Successful prosecution of a case depends on the legality and admissibility of the evidence gathered by the investigator. Statements obtained during interviews and interrogations are part of the information that helps prepare and present a case in court. Therefore, as an investigator, it is important for you to fully understand the tenets of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution. Evidence that adheres to the legal guidelines detailed in these constitutional amendments is admissible in court.
An investigator plays an important role in building a case for trial. With that role comes an important responsibility to ensure he or she has obtained a confession from the actual perpetrator of the crime. There are many reasons people confess to crimes they have not committed.
Extensive investigative rigor must be exercised in order to make sure that cases containing false confessions are not prosecuted. On many occasions, there is pressure from the public, superiors, and the media to make an arrest in a case. An investigator who succumbs to these pressures is acting negligently.
