/ˌsɜːrkəmˈstænʃəl keɪs/ – Phrase
Definition: xch case of circumstantial evidence.
A more thorough explanation: A circumstantial case refers to a legal case in which the evidence presented is based on circumstances or indirect evidence rather than direct proof of the alleged facts. In such cases, the evidence may not conclusively prove guilt or innocence but relies on the inference of facts based on the circumstances surrounding the case.
Example: In a circumstantial case, the prosecution relied on the defendant’s suspicious behavior and the timing of events to establish guilt, rather than direct evidence of the crime.
