Circumstantial evidence is not evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
The null hypothesis of the American justice system is supposed to be that it is better to let guilty people go than convict innocent people.
Not that it always works out that way.

Most evidence is circumstantial. It depends on the type and how much to remove reasonable doubt.
