EVIDENCE
8 AUGUST 2007 (Two hours)
Candidates are required to answer THREE questions only. All answers should be fully reasoned and supported by adequate citation of authority.
Billy is given a common law caution in the following terms: “We’re going to ask you some questions. Anything you tell us will be noted and may be used in evidence at a later date.” Billy is then questioned from 3am until 7am, without interruption, about the goods in his possession. He admits to having acquired the goods that day but claims he bought them from a man at the party and paid £20 for them.
Billy is subsequently charged with having possession of recently stolen goods. He pleads not guilty.
a. Are there any grounds for objecting to the admissibility of the response given by Billy during questioning? b. Who carries the burden of proof in relation to this charge and to what standard? c. What is the effect of any presumptions on the burden of proof?
Explain how these rules operate.
