Abstract
The legal fact of the death of a witness in a criminal trial causes various legal consequences to occur. In cases where the witness, after being called to give evidence, was not questioned in connection with the death, these consequences are expressed in changing the methods and means of proof in the criminal case. In situations where the death of a witness occurred after interrogation, criminal procedural consequences may occur in the form of the reading of the deceased’s testimony, the evidentiary value of which is not lost if certain procedural conditions are met. Then the death of a witness acquires the property of an exclusive basis for limiting the oral proceedings and the adversarial nature of the parties in criminal proceedings, allowing the court to unconditionally resort to reading the testimony of the deceased.
