Most murder cases are entirely circumstantial, because very few people kill another person in the presence of third parties.

I disagree. Frequently there is forensic evidence. Bullets in the body, knife wounds, fiber samples, blood with DNA evidence, footprints and fingerprints all come to mind.

Forensic evidence is circumstantial evidence, because it isn't the testimony of an eyewitness.

THANK you!!!

And don'tcha just know, if this case had an alleged eyewitness to Scott's murdering Laci, the defense would be spinning out every study the world has even known which purports to show the "unreliability of eyewitness testimony"!
