Mr. Ranju Kwak, a partner at Law Firm Tong, appeared on the Legal Information SHOW to explain how the principle of presumption of innocence can be specifically used as a defense strategy based on the realization that the outcome of a trial is determined by evidence, not justice. Mr. Kwak presented practical tactics such as allocating the burden of proof, exploiting weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, moving to exclude illegally collected evidence, contesting competency, challenging witness credibility, and cross-examining emotional and digital evidence, from the indictment stage to trial preparation and pre-trial evidence investigation.
During the broadcast, he shared specific practical tips on reviewing the legality of evidence-gathering procedures such as warrants and search warrants, requesting preservation and enhancement of evidence, document and evidence acquisition strategies, and utilizing expert witnesses, emphasizing the need for viewers to focus on evidence management in legal disputes. These remarks clarified key legal issues and provided practical guidance on how the admissibility of evidence and the exercise of procedural rights in criminal and civil cases can affect the outcome of a case.
