- 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.
- Habeas corpus: A writ that is usually used to bring a prisoner before the court to determine the legality of his imprisonment. It may also be used to bring a person in custody before the court to give testimony, or to be prosecuted.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The judge presiding at such trial may direct the stenographer to make a copy of all the evidence given at such trial, or any part of it, which copy shall be approved by the judge and certified by the clerk and transmitted to the secretary of corrections. The evidence so certified and copy of the record may be used against such offender in any proceedings taken by him or her for release from imprisonment by habeas corpus or otherwise.
