/ˈkeɪs əv ˌsɜːrkəmˈstænʃəl ˈɛvɪdəns/ – Phrase
Definition: lý lẽ hay lời buộc tội căn cứ vào những chứng cứ gián tiếp.
A more thorough explanation: A case of circumstantial evidence refers to a legal situation where the evidence presented does not directly prove the defendant’s guilt but relies on inference and deduction to establish a connection between the evidence and the alleged crime. In such cases, the evidence may be indirect and require the fact-finder to draw conclusions based on the circumstances surrounding the case rather than direct proof of the defendant’s guilt.
Example: In the case of circumstantial evidence, the prosecution relied on the defendant’s fingerprints being found at the crime scene as a key piece of evidence to establish guilt.
