Authors : Mehda Fathi . Djebiri Yacine .

Abstract

This study mainly aims to search for forensic medicine's role in influencing criminal judges' opinions. The current topic combines two sciences. Legal sciences aim through criminal procedures to reach the truth. In many cases, the judiciary can only reach the truth with the help of a forensic expert. Moreover, his opinion shall be decisive and influential in adjudicating the lawsuit. In front of the contradiction between the two sciences, the forensic doctor did not study the lawsuit and its procedures. The criminal judge did not study medical sciences and how to reveal medical evidence, especially in murder crimes, so it was necessary to search the extent of the obligatory opinion of the forensic expert in influencing criminal rulings in murder crimes.
