VERDICT FOR ACQUITTAL IN CRIMINAL LAW PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The examination through a criminal process, the judge's decision must always be based on the case assignment letter that contains all indictment defendant's mistakes. Beside of that, the judge's decision must not be regardless of the result of evidence based as long as examination in court. Therefore based on these interests, before stating a position to assess the case on face, there must be an inspection to prove the truth of the indictment of the accusation of the prosecutor to the defendant. Thus, if we see from the function of indictment letters, this is the basis point for inspection. The court’s decision that has legal force in criminal cases is carried out by the prosecutor. It can be said that the official who is given the authority to carry out court decisions is the prosecutor. The method of research is qualitative, because the qualitative method is easier to adapt in the field. This research aims to find out directly how the juridical review of acquittal verdict based on the Criminal Procedure Code is due to the lack of evidence in the Padangsidimpuan District Court. The research object is to obtain clear data and this object can become a target for researchers so that the problems to be researched will not become widespread.
