| dc.description.abstract | Examines the issues that arise when there is evidence of flight in a criminal case. The author asserts that evidence of flight should not be admitted unless it can be shown that it is directly connected with the offense under prosecution. Only when a valid connection is established between evidence of flight and the particular offense under prosecution can an inference of consciousness of guilt for that offense be drawn. The author concludes that the state should shoulder the burden of proving the connection between flight and the offense. | en_US |
