Abstract

The function of defense during the criminal proceedings in Romania is the result of traditional separation of the three procedural functions of accusation, judgement and defense. Exceeding the barriers of the contradictory principles the penal procedure in Romania features, the investigation bodies are interested in finding truth in penal cases and solving them legally and substantially. Both constitutive parts are achieved in criminal proceedings based on genuine evidence gathered legally from the crime scene. The current paper aims to identify elements which contribute to achieving the function of defense during the criminal proceedings in Romania by approaching and implementing tools and scientific techniques provided by forensic science. In reaching the study's proposed objectives, a mixed research methodology has been used consisting of qualitative methods.
