La balística forense como medio de prueba en el sistema penal Colombiano

Abstract

In current criminal law and even more in the Colombian accusatory criminal system, the burden of proof has been a controversial issue because in some cases determining which procedural subject falls under this obligation has become a topic of debate. Although the code of criminal procedure gives us some parameters on the burden of proof, there is some evidence on which there is no specific role, such as ballistics. Ballistics is a means of proof, but beyond that, it is a forensic science that allows to know the trajectory of a projectile of fire, from the moment that it is inside the weapon until it leaves it. This science has allowed that criminal law evolved and in this way can be brought to trial more concrete evidence
