Not always, but most of the time.
I'm just saying all she had to do was lie, because there was no video of her doing it. Without actual prints, they had nothing but circumstantial evidence. If circumstantial evidence no longer matters, as in the Anthony case, they would have had nothing on her even though they knew beyond a reasonable doubt she did it. She's be out partying today.
That $1,000,000,000,00.00 life insurance policy your wife had? That's motive, but not "proof."
She was divorcing you? That's not "proof" either.
She was last seen with you? That doesn't "prove" anything.
They found the gun near your house? So? No prints. That means the killer must have put it there.
The foot prints near her shallow grave are just like your slipper print. Maybe the butler borrowed your slippers. That doesn't "prove" it was you who pulled the trigger, right? Maybe it was the butler!
Of course, all fingers point to you. All actions point to you. Reason says you did it, but that doesn't count anymore. Enjoy your new, "wonderful life."
I wonder if OJ is still looking for the real killer.
That’s probably true, but she didn’t.
Someone framing you for a crime? Do you want the jury to rely on circumstantial evidence for their decision? Do you want to have to prove you did not do something?
