When a violent crime is committed by one or more persons against another, the case can be complicated and difficult to prove without any eye witnesses to establish what occurred. Sometimes law enforcement arrives on the scene while a victim is still alive yet not expected to survive. If the victim is conscious and able to communicate with police officers it is imperative law enforcement officers obtain a dying declaration. A dying declaration is essentially the person’s last words and may be the only chance police have to hear what the victim can tell them about the crime.
Obtaining a Dying Declaration
Often a dying declaration transpires in the moments before the ambulance arrives to provide medical care and transport the person to the nearest hospital. When obtaining what one believes to be an end of life statement from the victim, the officer should record or video the actual statement whenever possible. Recording a victim’s dying statement allows for accuracy in translation and provides a record for reference. The questions police ask may determine the focus of the investigation, and this is done by establishing the basic facts. Who did this to you? What happened? How did this happen?
