Abstract
Judicial practice reveals instances where the autopsy report is disregarded, its validity challenged, or its evidentiary significance undermined due to procedural factors, including compliance with examination request regulations, the qualifications of the personnel conducting the examination, the completeness of administrative records, and the presence of chain of custody protocols for the samples. Visum Et Repertum operates concurrently in two domains: in medicine for the management and rehabilitation of victims, and in law as a kind of evidence for justice. This study seeks to elucidate Visum Et Repertum as evidence in the management of crime. This research constitutes an empirical juridical legal study that investigates law as it manifests in societal behaviour (law in action), rather than solely as codified rules (law in books). The research findings indicate that Visum Et Repertum constitutes documentary evidence as stipulated in Article 184 paragraph (1) letter c of the Criminal Procedure Code (and elaborated in Article 235 paragraph (1) of Law No. 20 of 2025), which plays a crucial role in substantiating the crime of assault due to its inclusion of objective medical findings, such as injuries.
