Easily explained by the Taft School's 4th grade musical.


"Curcumstantial evidence
is inconclusive evidence;
it won't hold up
in any court of law"

(so what?)

"You can't claim
to know the truth
without the necessary proof
Your knowledge has a serious flaw"


basically, it's evidence that's based on assumptions.

"Statements or information obtained indirectly or not based on first-hand experience by a person. Circumstantial evidence can include, in part, inferences about an event that was not seen. For example, if you walk outside and the ground is wet, and you didn't actually see it raining, you could infer that it had rained while you were inside. See also Direct evidence."

All evidence except eyewitness testimony. One example is physical evidence, such as fingerprints, from which an inference can be drawn
