appeared to me in the readings the authors were trying to show were all evidence must be exact or not be included in the trial. If this is the case, we would not need a court system. In the readings it appeared to me the authors were trying to say the evidence should meet a definitive threshold before being entered into court (Saks and Koehler, 2005. pp. 892-895). This is not how the judicial system works in the United States. Almost all evidence is circumstantial, which means it can be…

People…
