A Prior Statement of Defendant — Single Defendant on Trial is a document that is used in criminal proceedings when a single defendant is on trial. It is a statement that is made by the defendant prior to the trial in which the defendant outlines their version of the events that took place. The statement is made under oath, and will be taken into consideration by the court in determining the outcome of the trial. There are two types of Prior Statement of Defendant — Single Defendant on Trial: voluntary statements and compelled statements. Voluntary statements are made by the defendant without the influence of the court or prosecution. Compelled statements are made when the court or prosecution requires the defendant to answer specific questions. Both types of statements are used in the criminal justice system to provide additional evidence or to clarify any ambiguities in the case.
