Presenting Evidence
Heres a bit of a definition of the word 'evidence' from the web
*IF* this were a jury trial and none of the jurors were biased in one direction or another the evidence laid before them would 'tend to prove' or 'indicate' that these things are true.
Evidence is just that. It 'indicates' or gives 'signs' that something believed is the case.
In a jury trial I suppose that one could decide to ignore the clear evidence as it is presented as a whole.
It would be easy enough for a man to dismiss 99 pieces of evidence that tend to show someone as being innocent and cling to that one piece that MIGHT seem to indicate guilt, but is that actually letting the evidence speak for itself ?
No, that is someone who seems to WANT things to mean what he wants them to and doesnt really care what the evidence actually says.
