(NARRATOR (VO.)
In the legal world, evidence is
everything. It proves facts,
supports arguments, and guides
justice. In Zambia, the Evidence
Act, Chapter 43 defines how facts
are presented and evaluated in
court. Today, we explore:
What evidence is, its types
such as circumstantial,
documentary, oral, physical,
hearsay, and primary vs. secondary,
and how it's admitted under Zambian
law.

NARRATOR (VO.)
Evidence includes facts, documents,
testimony anything that helps prove
or disprove a fact in issue.
Evidence means the facts,
testimonies and documents which may
be legally received in order to
prove or disprove the facts under
inquiry or the facts in issue. It
may also include all the facts,
documents, material objects,
statements and any other legal
means that can be used to establish
a matter in issue. As established
in DPP v Kilbourne , evidence must
be relevant making a fact more or
less probable.
