4.1 Statements by Defendant is a type of evidence used in legal proceedings to determine the truth or falsehood of a statement. It is a statement made by the defendant in a criminal case in which he or she is accused of a crime. A 4.1 statement can be presented in court as an oral statement, a written statement, or a combination of both. The defendant's statement is used as evidence of the truth or falsity of the charges. There are two types of 4.1 Statements by Defendant: admissions and denials. An admission is a statement by the defendant that they committed the crime in question, while a denial is a statement by the defendant that they did not commit the crime. Both admissions and denials are considered evidence and can be used in court.
