Romanian term or phrase: cercetare judecatoreasca/vs./urmarire penala
In faza de cercetare judecatoreasca, inculpatul a revenit asupra declaratiilor date in cursul urmaririi penale, aratand ca victima, aflandu-se sub influenta bauturilor alcoolice, a pierdut controlul directiei si a intrat pe sensul sau de deplasare, unde a avut loc impactul si ca nu intelege de ce nu a relatat acest lucru si la urmarirea penala.

forensic investigation / vs / criminal prosecution


Explanation:
A forensic investigation is the practice of lawfully establishing evidence and facts that are to be presented in a court of law. The word forensic is derived from the Latin word forensis and means “of or before the forum.” It was used as early as the Roman Empire when people accused of crimes were brought before a public group and allowed to argue their case. In modern times, the term is used for nearly all investigations, ranging from computer crimes to murders. When most people think about a forensic investigation, they think about crime scene investigation, but there are other forms of forensic investigation.

The type of forensic investigation most people know about revolves around violent crimes. Forensics used in these investigations can uncover scientific evidence that may provide enough proof or evidence to convict a violent criminal, or to disprove outdated evidence that could lead to the release of someone who was wrongly convicted. The main kinds of evidence this form of forensic investigation yields are biological or DNA evidence, such as blood spatter and hairs; impression evidence, like fingerprints and tire tracks; and weapon identification, the microscopic examination of firearms and tools for the purpose of matching weapons to wounds. After the evidence is carefully collected at the crime scene, it is typically processed inside a crime lab.

neutral  Bogdan Burghelea: iar "criminal prosecution" ar fi, mot-a-mot, urmarirea penala. Or, noi vorbim de o etapa clar definita a unui "criminal trial".
