Gardner and Anderson cover the key rules of evidence and the applicability of these rules in criminal matters. The authors provide students with an understanding of the rationale behind these rules, and focus on making the rules accessible to law enforcement officers who must apply them on the job. This text includes many of the features that have popularized Gardner/Anderson's best-selling CRIMINAL LAW text, including high-interest examples, boxes that focus in on key concepts, and case excerpts. Unlike competing texts, CRIMINAL EVIDENCE: PRINCIPLES AND CASES is comprehensive without being encyclopedic or overwhelming.

Evidence at its best - After having gone to law school and studying under a prosecutor I took this evidence course using this textbook from a retired Marine JAG officer and it was outstanding. This book is well written and it describes the laws governing different types of evidence. Whether it be verbal statements, hearsay, things said before or after arrest or other documentation, this book covers it all. It applies the laws of Search and Seizure and describes and applies the Exclusionary Rule (Fruits of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine/Derivative Evidence Rule). This book also explains and applies vehicle stops, arrest, and search warrant requirements. Taught by a retired Marine JAG officer and Asst Prosecutor made it that much better.
