The present contribution introduces a dossier regarding the relationship between crime extinction, acquittal, and aims of the criminal trial. This paper points out the usefulness of comparative-law method to deal with such complex topic, which it analyses from the viewpoint of the implications of extinctive phenomena on the core values of adjudication procedures. Starting with examining the different ways in which the time factor conditions the qualification of extinctive phenomena according to the approach of each legal system, this study focuses on the evidentiary problems and the dynamics of decision-making, produced by the intervention of such phenomena, which highlight the tension field between procedural efficiency and the protection of freedom and the defendant’s innocence.
