CORPUS DELICTI
(bouvier) | CORPUS DELICTI. The body of the offence; the essence of the crime
2. It is a general rule not to convict unless the corpus delicti can be
established, that is, until the dead body has been found. Best on Pres. Sec.
201; 1 Stark. Ev. 575, See 6 C. & P. 176; 2 Hale, P. C. 290. Instances have
occurred of a person being convicted of having killed another, who, after
the supposed criminal has been put to death for the supposed offence, has
made his appearance alive. The wisdom of the rule is apparent; but it has
been questioned whether, in extreme cases, it may not be competent to prove
the basis of the corpus delicti by presumptive evidence. 3 Benth. Jud. Ev.
234; Wills on Circum. Ev. 105; Best on Pres. Sec. 204. See Death.
