Article 134

The Court shall consider the reliability of all evidence produced by the parties and, for greater certainty, the Court shall consider whether evidence is given by witnesses who testify to relevant facts within their personal knowledge and any other evidence shall be subject to strict scrutiny by the Court in accordance with Article 133.

The Court shall admit, and may order, the evidence of experts if the Court is satisfied that it is relevant, that it is necessary for assisting the Court to make findings of fact and that the person who is proposed to give such evidence is properly qualified as an expert in the matters on which he is to give evidence.

The Court shall not refer to any statement made by a witness in the course of a police investigation unless the Court is satisfied that the witness is not available to testify and, further, that the statement made by the witness is both necessary and reliable as evidence.

The prosecutor shall not introduce evidence of a statement made by the accused out of Court to a police officer or prosecutor unless the Court is satisfied that the statement was made by the accused freely, voluntarily, without inducement and in accordance with the requirements of Article 54 of this Code.
