PROOF n. Evidence having proverb

 PROOF, n. Evidence having a shade more of plausibility than of unlikelihood. The testimony of two credible witnesses as opposed to that of only one.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Ninety percent of the evidence is going to be the testimony of these 42 inmate witnesses, and every single one will be getting something.

 I could not find the testimony of two of the defendants credible, ... It showed a blindness, which the law does not permit. Some witnesses saw what was going on, realized what was happening. Some other defendants sensed the problem and withdrew.

 as the jueteng allegations are based on hearsay or presented by dubious characters who have either recanted or been rebutted by other more credible witnesses and evidence.

 We don't believe isolated testimony on cross examination by one of our witnesses had such an impact that it defeated the reliability of all of the other testimony that was presented during the trail. So, that's why we're going to continue to pursue the matter. And that's one of the biggest reasons why we're disappointed,

 We're not disputing that there is a plausibility that secondhand smoke could cause breast cancer. All we're saying is that the evidence has just not reached that level.

 The only evidence you will hear are the words of these complaining witnesses. There will be no medical evidence. There will be no scientific evidence.

 You have to have other witnesses who were in the same events. And if you don't have documentary evidence or corroborating witnesses, you're going to have a tough time.

 In voting to acquit the president I do so with grave misgivings for I do not mean in any way to exonerate this man, ... He lied under oath, he sought to interfere with the evidence, he tried to influence the testimony of key witnesses. And while it may not be a crime, the president exploited a very young star-stuck employee whom he then proceeded to smear in an attempt to destroy her credibility, her reputation and her life.

 We do look for first words that are credible and then we look for circumstantial evidence: physical evidence, forensic evidence that supports the child's word so that it's not just the child standing alone. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness.

 There have always been questions about reliability (of) other types of evidence -- eyewitness testimony or circumstantial evidence. Once they see the DNA evidence, there's no question. You are either guilty or not guilty.

 The value of the testimony of such witnesses is about zero.

 There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples.

 INADMISSIBLE, adj. Not competent to be considered. Said of certain kinds of testimony which juries are supposed to be unfit to be entrusted with, and which judges, therefore, rule out, even of proceedings before themselves alone. Hearsay evidence is inadmissible because the person quoted was unsworn and is not before the court for examination; yet most momentous actions, military, political, commercial and of every other kind, are daily undertaken on hearsay evidence. There is no religion in the world that has any other basis than hearsay evidence. Revelation is hearsay evidence; that the Scriptures are the word of God we have only the testimony of men long dead whose identity is not clearly established and who are not known to have been sworn in any sense. Under the rules of evidence as they now exist in this country, no single assertion in the Bible has in its support any evidence admissible in a court of law. It cannot be proved that the battle of Blenheim ever was fought, that there was such as person as Julius Caesar, such an empire as Assyria. But as records of courts of justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.
  Ambrose Bierce

 I am willing to travel the road wherever it leads, whether it's to the conviction or the acquittal of the president. But in order to do that, I need more evidence, ... I need witnesses and further evidence to guide me to the right destination: to get to the truth.
