A system of circumstantial evidence for fact-finding in criminal trial


 One of the most intractable, but significant problems in the theory of legal evidence concerns circumstantial
 evidence. The diversity and complexity of criminal cases cause some bottlenecks and difficulties in developing reasonable methods
 to prove the criminal issue by means of circumstantial evidence. The main purpose of this paper is to present more effective
 methods of fact-finding just by means of a system of circumstantial evidence (SCE). On the basis of analysis of the nature of
 circumstantial evidence, we find it necessary for the prosecution to construct a SCE in order to make a judge or jury accept the
 prosecution’s conclusion as the best explanation. We also present a reasonable logical structure of such a system and address some
 legal and logical problems in introducing it.
