CONCEPT AND ESSENSE OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE IN CRIMINAL LEGAL PROCEDURE
In criminal legal procedure knowledge gained in the process of professional training can be regarded as special only if they meet present day requirements of science, technology, art and trade. Applying spe-cial knowledge the subjects of proof develop such kinds of evidence as conclusions and testimony of an expert or a specialist. Special knowledge itself serve as an independent means for establishing fact and circumstances of a criminal event, whereas skills only demonstrate a person's abilities to use technical means in conducting investigative actions.
