Abstract

A legal research is carried out, where the evidentiary value of the statements made by witnesses outside the oral trial is studied by means of documentary and doctrinal analysis. It is observed that for the Criminal Cassation Chamber of the Colombian Supreme Court of Justice, such statements in principle are not evidence as a general rule, but in certain events may enter the body of evidence, it is concluded based on the jurisprudential rules adopted by the Criminal Chamber, in addition to clarifying the evidentiary value of such statements in light of the Colombian legal system.
