What if corpus delicti and how does it apply to crime?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Means the body of the crime. The prosecution must establish that a crime (as defined by the legislative body with elements of the offense) has been committed. Moreover, the prosecution must establish that a person is criminally responsible for committing that act. Discuss how an unsubstantiated confession is insufficient to obtain a conviction and why. Also, how it is necessary to establish jurisdiction, the court's authority to hear and decide the case as determined by the corpus delicti.
