A court will accept circumstantial evidence UMer's won't.
a court will consider/allow circumstantial evidence, but it's validity is very questionable. in order for it to have any credence it must have some form of corroberation to give it the weight it needs to be considered by the jury.
in a jury room the jurors have all the say in what is important and what isn't, what is valid and what isn't, and ultimately what is true and what isn't.
i know. i was a juror in a murder trial of a man who slit his girlfriend's throat. nasty business to be sure, but it was a very interesting experience to be part of that process and i took it very seriously. so please understand that i do know what i speak of with regard to what is offered as evidence and what is actually considered to have any weight as evidence.
