Which item is listed as a type of evidence to be collected?

• A. Fruits of the Crime
• B. Eyewitness Testimony
• C. Alibi Statement
• D. Medical Records

Answer: (A)

Evidence collected from a crime scene often consists of tangible items tied directly to the offense. “Fruits of the crime” refers to goods or proceeds that result from the criminal act—things like stolen property, cash, or other physical objects you can seize, preserve, and present as evidence. These are classic targets for collection because they directly demonstrate the crime and can be examined, documented, and linked to suspects or transactions.

Eyewitness testimony, while essential, is a form of testimonial evidence rather than a physical item you collect. An alibi statement is a narrative claim about where someone was, not a tangible object to be seized. Medical records are sensitive documents that require proper authorization and relevance before they can be used as evidence, rather than being items you typically collect at a scene. So the item that fits as a type of evidence to be collected is fruits of the crime.
