| dc.description.abstract | Autopsy is a medical examination of a corpse to determine the cause
of death. Forensic autopsies for judicial purposes have been
regulated in Article 133 and Article 134 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure, even Article 222 of the Criminal Code has also regulated
criminal sanctions against parties who intentionally hinder forensic
autopsies, but it is undeniable that there are still obstacles in its
implementation. This study aims to analyze the essential role of
forensic autopsies for legal certainty through analysis of several
court decisions and literature review using normative juridical
methods with statutory and conceptual approaches. Forensic
autopsies has scientific validity. Application of the principle of
causality is very important in law enforcement for a fair and correct
decision so that it can fulfill a sense of justice for victims,
perpetrators and also the community. The accurate cause of death
through a forensic autopsy, is a material justification that can be
verified scientifically for discovering the truth. | en_US |
