Circumstantial Evidence (sucks)

 Circumstantial Evidence..... I don't think circumstantial evidence should be allowed in courts without any real evidence. 

Did you know that 1 percent of the US prison population, approximately 20,000 people, are falsely convicted? That's a lot of wrongly convicted people sitting in prison, and I seen numbers even higher then that.

So how can circumstantial evidence be wrong?

Ok, let's say you work with a person and they invite you over to their house, first time you was there and in that area. About a month or two later that same person is having there car worked on and ask you if you could pick them up for work, you say ok.

So, you go to pick that person up for work and as you drive down the street looking for their house your not sure which house it was so your driving slowly. At some point you figured out you passed the house so you go around the block and go down the street again, this time you see it and pull over to the curb.

As you look at your watch you see it's getting really late, but you go p to the door and knock a few times but there is no answer. You wait a minute or two but now it's really getting late and you have to get to work, so you rush to your car, get in and kind of speed away.

Later on be it the same day or next day or two, someone goes to your co-workers house and knocks on the door and get's no answer either. That person either calls the cops or a relative to come over and they go in the house and find the person murdered!

When the police start to investigate they find out that a neighbor seen your car and know the make and model and maybe even the license plate number. They also seen you rushing to your car and speeding away.

As the investigation continues, they also find you finger prints and DNA in the house on cups, saucers, on the table, etc., etc.

Now who do you think is going to get blamed for this murder, "YOU"! 

All the circumstantial evidence points to you as the murderer, the time, your car, your finger prints and your DNA. Another innocent person sitting in prison because of circumstantial evidence and no "real evidence".
