| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: The study aimed to examine the impact of forensic medicine in proving crimes from the perspective of the Public Prosecution. Methods: A descriptive quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary tool for data collection. The study sample consisted of a convenience sample of 91 of the Public Prosecution individuals in West Bank- Palestine. Results: Among the key findings was that, regarding the evidentiary value of forensic reports before the Public Prosecution, a judge may not substitute themselves for a forensic expert. This finding received a high degree of agreement, with a percentage of 83.6%. Additionally, the results showed that the court relies on forensic medical expertise to determine the perpetrator's intent to kill. Despite being one of the least emphasized aspects of the evidentiary value of forensic reports before the Public Prosecution, it achieved a high percentage of 94.2%. Conclusions: Based on these findings, the study presented several recommendations, the most important of which is the need to uphold the rule of law by ensuring judicial independence as a fundamental component of criminal justice. | |
