D.convictions can"t be made on confessions alone and the statements taken by police officers from accused persons are valid legal evidence

参考答案

正确答案:A
解析:该题问:现存的法律陈述什么?A项意为“警员从被控人员那里取得的陈述是有效的合法的证据”,从文中的第五、六段可以知道A项为正确选项。B项意为“定罪不能仅仅根据供词,当从被控人员那里取得陈述时还应有第三方在场”,这在文中的第六段first to make it impossible to convict on confessions alone; and secondly to require that statements from accused persons should only be taken in the presence of an independent third party to ensure they are not made under coercion可以看出。但是这句话的前提There are already demands that the law should be changed。这只是demands,而不是现存法律,故B项亦不正确。C项意为“当有供词和第三方也在场的情况下从被控人员那里取得的陈述时可以定罪”,这也可从第六段中找到,然而这也是demands,而不是现存法律。D项意为“不能仅仅根据供词定罪,警察官员从被控人员那里取得的陈述是合法有效的证据”,根据第六段,此项前半部分是错误的,且仅仅是demand,不是现存法律,后半部分是正确的。
