Testimony in criminal proceedings: content or form?

Abstract

The article deals with the actual problems of the admissibility of testimony as evidence in a criminal case. The article argues that the division in the evidence of witnesses, victims, defendants and suspects, and protocols of the interrogation of the participants in criminal proceedings on the basis of the presence/absence of perception of the information by the entity that receives a procedural decision, disputed the possibility of the use of protocols of interrogation as evidence in adversarial proceedings.
