20.500.12556/DKUM-94280 Problematična uporaba rap besedil kot dokazov v kazenskem postopku diplomsko delo univerzitetnega študijskega programa Varstvoslovje The problematic use of rap lyrics as evidence in criminal proceedings To diplomsko delo obravnava problematiko uporabe rap besedil kot dokaznega gradiva v kazenskih postopkih v Združenih državah Amerike. Najprej je bilo predstavljeno zgodovinsko in kulturno ozadje rap glasbe, predvsem gangsta rapa, saj je razumevanje značilnosti rap glasbe in okoliščin nastanka ključno za razumevanje celotne problematike. Zaradi uporabe nasilnih in kontroverznih motivov so rap izvajalci pogosto obravnavani kot realni odraz vsebine svojih besedil, kar tožilstva izkoriščajo za dokazovanje obtožb, četudi so besedila precej splošna. V nasprotju z drugimi umetniškimi žanri (npr. kriminalnimi romani, grozljivkami) se le rap dosledno uporablja kot dokazno gradivo, pogosto brez upoštevanja njegove umetniške narave in fikcije. V nalogi so poleg splošne predstavitve sodne prakse uporabe rap besedil kot umetniških izdelkov podrobneje predstavljeni trije primeri, v katerih so rap besedila obravnavana kot: priznanje kaznivih dejanj, dokaz motiva ali namena ter kot grožnja, prav tako pa so predstavljeni tudi možni argumenti obrambe, da besedila izločijo iz dokazov. Diplomsko delo opozarja na nevarnosti, ki jih taka praksa pomeni za pravico do svobodnega izražanja in poštenega sojenja ter poziva k strožjemu pravnemu nadzoru nad dopustnostjo umetniških vsebin kot dokazov. Namen raziskave je tudi opozoriti na morebitno širjenje takšne prakse v druge pravne sisteme, vključno s slovenskim, ter prispevati k širšemu razumevanju meja med umetnostjo in kazensko odgovornostjo This thesis examines the issue of using rap lyrics as evidence in criminal proceedings in the United States. It begins with an overview of the historical and cultural background of rap music, with a particular focus on gangsta rap, as understanding the characteristics of rap and the context of its creation is essential for grasping the broader legal problem. Due to the use of violent and controversial themes, rap artists are often perceived as literal representations of their lyrics, and prosecutors often exploit this narrative to support criminal charges, even when the lyrics are general or fictional. Unlike other artistic genres (e.g., crime novels, horror films), rap is uniquely and consistently treated as admissible evidence, often without proper consideration of its artistic nature or fictional context. In addition to a general overview of case law regarding rap lyrics as artistic works, the thesis presents three specific cases in greater detail, in which rap lyrics were used respectively as: confessions to criminal acts, evidence of motive or intent, and as threats. It also outlines possible defense arguments for excluding such lyrics from evidence. The thesis highlights the dangers this legal practice poses to the rights to freedom of expression and a fair trial and calls for stricter legal oversight of the admissibility of artistic content as evidence. The aim of the research is also to draw attention to the potential spread of this practice to other legal systems, including the Slovenian one, and to contribute to a broader understanding of the boundaries between art and criminal liability. rap glasba dokazno gradivo umetniško izražanje sistemski rasizem rap music evidentiary material artistic expression institutional racism true true false D.
