Documentary evidence: refers to evidence recorded in written materials, including words, data, charts, etc., such as contracts, invoices, bills, letters, etc. 2.

Confession: refers to the defendant's statement of the case, including oral statement and written statement. 5. Witness testimony: refers to the testimony of a witness who provides evidence and truth for a case. In addition to the above five main evidences, there are some other auxiliary evidences, such as inspection records, expert opinions and investigation reports. For these different types of evidence, there are different rules and standards in criminal proceedings, such as documentary evidence needs authentication; Physical evidence needs to be preserved and tested; Confession and witness testimony need to be identified in combination with other evidence.
If some evidence is considered invalid in the trial, can it be resubmitted? Generally speaking, if some evidence is considered invalid in the trial, it can be resubmitted in the subsequent trial. However, the re-submission of evidence needs to comply with the provisions of the procedural law, for example, it should be submitted within the prescribed time and go through strict examination and appraisal procedures. In addition, if the evidence has been excluded from the scope of evidence, it needs to be resubmitted according to the corresponding regulations.
