Dna evidence as evidence in criminal trials in England and Wales
Evidence from an expert who has compared DNA samples must be accompanied by evidence as to the sources of the samples and the procedures for obtaining the DNA profiles. The judge must ensure that the jury must understand the significance of DNA matches and mismatches in the profiles. The judge must also ensure that the jury does not confuse the 'match probability' (the probability that a person that is chosen at random has a matching DNA profile to the sample from the scene) with the 'likelihood ratio' (the probability that a person with matching DNA committed the crime). Phillips LJ gave this example of a summing up, which should be carefully tailored to the particular facts in each case:
Members of the Jury, if you accept the scientific evidence called by the Crown, this indicates that there are probably only four or five white males in the United Kingdom from whom that semen stain could have come. The Defendant is one of them. If that is the position, the decision you have to reach, on all the evidence, is whether you are sure that it was the Defendant who left that stain or whether it is possible that it was one of that other small group of men who share the same DNA characteristics.
Juries should weigh up conflicting and corroborative evidence, using their own common sense and not by using mathematical formulae, so as to avoid "confusion, misunderstanding and misjudgment".
TASK 6. Translate the following text into English:
Состав преступления
Каждое преступление с точки зрения уголовного права характеризуется набором определенных признаков. Если все необходимые признаки обнаруживаются в действительном событии, то мы вправе говорить о совершении преступления. Эти признаки предусматриваются нормами действующего уголовного права. Совокупность таких признаков называется составом преступления.
Согласно требованиям английского уголовного права, преступление, как правило, должно состоять из двух частей. Эти части называются элементами состава преступления. Отсутствие любой части не позволяет говорить о том, что перед нами преступление, как бы мы отрицательно не относились к происшедшему. В теории английского уголовного права элементы состава преступления принято обозначать латинскими выражениями – actus reus (это то, что относится к объективной стороне преступления - противоправное действие) и mens rea (это то, что относится к субъективной стороне преступления – преступное намерение).
Таким образом, необходимым условием уголовной ответственности за совершенное преступление является наличие обоих элементов состава преступления – actus reus и mens rea. Этот принцип нашел закрепление в известной латинской максиме “Actus non facit reum, nisi mens sit rea” («Действие само по себе не делает человека виновным, если он не действует с виновным умонастроением»). Обратную сторону этого принципа можно сформулировать так: как бы ни были преступны мысли, без действия нет и не может быть преступления. Если actus reus отсутствует, то уголовная ответственность не наступает. Уголовное право призвано контролировать поведение, но не мысли людей.
