Terms Used In 6 Guam Code Ann. § 2117

  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
All questions of fact, on trial before a jury, judge, referee or other officer are to be decided by the jury, judge, referee or other officer, and all evidence thereon is to be addressed to them.

SOURCE: CCP § 2101, as modified.

COMMENT: The modification of this Section reflects the institution of jury trial and the fact that the CCP, at least here, has not been amended heretofore to reflect jury trials.
