How it's used

Used primarily in legal, journalistic, or formal contexts, this term carries a weightier tone than general words for evidence like 證據. It specifically highlights the incriminating nature of the proof rather than just factual support. You will frequently encounter it in news reports concerning criminal investigations or courtroom proceedings.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 證據, which is a neutral term for evidence in any context. Using 罪證 to refer to everyday proof, such as evidence for a scientific theory or a personal argument, sounds unnatural and overly dramatic.
