Definition of incompetent evidence
Incompetent evidence is a type of evidence that cannot be used in court because it is not relevant or does not have any connection to the case.
For example, if someone is on trial for stealing a car, evidence about their favorite color or their job would be considered incompetent because it does not have anything to do with the crime they are accused of.
However, sometimes incompetent evidence is still used in court. This is usually only allowed if there is not enough competent evidence to support the judgment or if the incompetent evidence was relied upon by the trial court and influenced their decision.
Overall, incompetent evidence is not useful in court because it does not help to prove or disprove the case at hand.
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
