I don't have any data to back this up, but I imagine in almost every case where someone is convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison, there is actual evidence that a murder occurred.
I don't necessarily have a problem with circumstantial evidence, I just think that this is a very harsh sentence when there is no real evidence that anyone was killed.
- michaelneale 18y agoIt is damning circumstantial evidence, for sure. But only circumstantial, that is troubling (but there is precedence for convictions on circumstantial evidence of course).
- tptacek 18y agoWhere by precedence, you mean to say "multiple centuries of jurisprudence built around it". There is nothing wrong with circumstantial evidence.
- michaelneale 18y agoOf course, its just that inside all of us, there is a conspiracy theorist that thinks anything could be a set up ;)
