The outcome of a trial is determined by questions of fact and propositions of law. "Did defendant deliberately and with premeditation stab victim in the chest with a knife in an effort to kill him?" is an example of a fact question. "Stabbing a person to death intentionally and with premeditation constitutes the crime of first degree murder." is an example of a proposition of law.

 

In most litigation, questions of fact exert greater influence than propositions of law on the litigation's outcome. The government has the burden of proof. They must prove beyond a reasonable doubt all the elements of the crime (propositions of law). At A Need To Know, Inc., our team of investigators can discover facts and evidence that will refute the elements of the crime charged against the defendant.
