Exam 200-201 topic 1 question 116 discussion

Prima Facie Evidence - Sometimes called presumptive evidence, uses other types of evidence gathered from a crime scene to make a plausible or reasonable assumption. Indirect or Circumstantial Evidence - It describes information that doesn't directly connect a defendant to a crime but rather implies a connection exists. (Eyewitness, Witness, Fingerprint) Physical Evidence or Real Evidence - It is a material object with a connection to the defendant's potential role in a crime. Two Types of Physical Evidence: - Individual Physical Evidence - involves pieces that are unique to a person, such as DNA or fingerprints. - Class Physical Evidence - Relates to a certain segment of the population, which may help professionals narrow down a list of suspects. Examples of class physical evidence include blood type, tire tread and weapon manufacturers. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/different-types-of-evidence

C is the correct answer --> Indirect or circumstantial evidence: extrapolation to a conclusion of fact

you cant say BEST because you dont see him commiting the crime, how do you not know someone did it remotely while he was in there? so indirect would be best.

Its not best evidence because you do NOT see the suspect commit the crime only walking in there, indirect evidence is what the book is saying, someone could of hacked the data center the same time he walked in.

"C" is correct By the book: There are three general types of evidence: --> Best evidence: can be presented in court in the original form (for example, an exact copy of a hard disk drive). --> Corroborating evidence: tends to support a theory or an assumption deduced by some initial evidence. This corroborating evidence confirms the proposition. --> Indirect or circumstantial evidence: extrapolation to a conclusion of fact (such as fingerprints, DNA evidence, and so on). So it could only be "A" or "C". In this case, it is obvious that the Video is NOT a best evidence.

I think it is D. Indirect evidence – This is evidence that, in combination with other facts, establishes a hypothesis. This is also known as circumstantial evidence. For example, evidence that an individual has committed similar crimes can support the assertion that the person committed the crime of which they are accused.

The correct answer is A: best evidence, is when you have digital copy of the intruder, video, photography or exact copy of the hard disk as evidence. Indirect evidence, is when you have the DNA or Fingerprints of the person that committed the crime. Site sources: https://packitforwarding.com/index.php/2019/08/04/ccna-cyberops-secops-objective-1-6/
