/ˌsɜː.kəmˈstæn.ʃəl/ – Adjective
Definition: gián tiếp (về tang chứng, chứng cứ).
A more thorough explanation: “Circumstantial” in a legal context refers to evidence that suggests certain facts or circumstances, but does not directly prove them. Circumstantial evidence relies on inference and deduction to establish a conclusion, rather than direct observation or testimony.
Example: The prosecution’s case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, as there were no direct witnesses to the crime.
