  Evidence (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evidence must be relevant - that is, it must have a propensity to show that a fact at issue in the proceeding is more or less likely.
Certain kinds of evidence, such as documentary evidence, may be subject to further restrictions such as the best evidence rule, which requires certain documents to be produced unless they can shown to be unavailable.
These include the exclusionary rule of criminal procedure, which prohibits the admission in a criminal trial of evidence gained by unconstitutional means, and the parol evidence rule of contract law, which prohibits the admission of extrinsic evidence of the contents of a written contract.

 Physical law - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A physical law or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations.
Several general properties of physical laws have been identified (see Davies (1992) and Feynman (1965) as noted, although each of the characterizations is not necessarily original to them).
Physical laws are distinguished from scientific theories by their simplicity.

 The Pentagon Attack: What the Physical Evidence Shows
I show that the physical evidence is consistent with the crash of a 757, noting flaws in popular arguments to the contrary.
The physical and eyewitness evidence are thus mutually corroborating, a fact that is obscured by common errors in evaluating the physical evidence.
Allegations that the body of witness evidence as a whole is plagued by bias, contamination, and unreliability (addressed here) have been widely promoted and have not been effectively countered, apparently because the ponderous volume of the witness reports discourages analysis.

 Istanbul Protocol-PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF TORTURE
However, the absence of such physical evidence should not be construed to suggest that torture did not occur, since such acts of violence against persons frequently leave no marks or permanent scars.
Ideally, there should be adequate physical and technical facilities under which survivors of sexual violations may be examined appropriately, and a team that includes professionals such as experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, gynecologists, and nurses who are trained in the treatment of survivors of sexual violation.
A thorough physical examination should be performed, including meticulous documentation of all physical findings including their size, location and color, and, where possible, photography of these findings and collection of evidence of specimens from the examination.

Evidence Dynamics, it is further argued, come into play during the interval that begins as evidence is being transferred, and ends when the case is ultimately adjudicated.
The physical evidence left behind at the crime scene plays a crucial role in reconstructing the events that took place surrounding the crime… The collection and documentation of physical evidence is the foundation of a reconstruction.
Precautionary Acts involving physical evidence are behaviors committed by an offender before, during, or after an offense that are consciously intended to confuse, hamper, or defeat investigative or forensic efforts for the purposes of concealing their identity, their connection to the crime, or the crime itself [15].

The observed difference for Mercury's precession, between Newtonian theory and relativistic theory (on the order of 42.5 arc-seconds per century), was one of the pieces of evidence for Einstein's characterization of his theory of (A generalization of special relativity to include gravity (based on the principle of equivalence)) General Relativity.
That empirical evidence does not serve to determine between alternate theories does not imply that all theories are of equal value.
It is comparatively easy to agree on observations of physical phenomena, harder for them to agree on observations of social or mental phenomena, and difficult in the extreme to reach agreement on matters of theology or ethics.

 SI.com - Magazine - From SI: Another Kobe bombshell - Tuesday August 31, 2004 1:13PM
Collection of this evidence began on July 1, 2003, about 12 hours after the incident, when Detective Doug Winters from the Eagle County Sheriff's Office and Deputy Marsha Rich went to the home of a 19-year-old college freshman to investigate her report of a sexual assault.
Those injuries are similar to the ones used as evidence by Greg Garrison when he successfully prosecuted Mike Tyson in Indianapolis in 1992 for raping a college freshman who willingly went to his hotel room and later said she was assaulted.
Initially, this evidence was analyzed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at the crime lab in Denver, which found that the pair worn to the exam contained a semen stain belonging to a man other than Bryant.

 Ufo Physical Evidence Including Physical Trace' Cases & 'Solid Light' Cases
The physical trace phenomenon is an enduring aspect of the UFO mystery, having manifested for the entire duration of the modern era of the UFO controversy.
On the basis of the physical trace evidence and the collective evidence contained within the whole spectrum of UFO evidence, I contend that a physical dimension to the UFO phenomenon has been substantiated.
However, while the evidence for a physical reality behind UFO abductions is not as compelling as the so called mainstream UFO phenomenon, we have the extraordinary problem that it is the abduction phenomenon that is now defining the UFO phenomenon.

 The three jurists and the physical evidence
It is also corroborated by the physical evidence demonstrating that Patrolman Tippit was killed by bullets fired from a revolver found in Oswald’s possession at the time of his arrest, but we need not consider that [emphasis added].
Although Devlin went beyond physical evidence by including accepted events that were not in dispute (such as that Oswald resisted arrest violently), half of his evidence (six of 12 items) were still physical evidence (the rifle, the pistol, the order forms, etc.).
And yet that is exactly what the JFK critics have done by ignoring the core of physical evidence and wandering into the land of deep uncertainty.

 Physical Therapy / Evidence in Practice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I recalled a case report that appeared in Physical Therapy describing the use of acetic acid iontophoresis in a patient with traumatic myositis ossificans in the thigh musculature.
This study, however, provided evidence that patients who received acetic acid iontophoresis, followed by 5 minutes of continuous wave ultrasound, did not have a greater reduction in size of the calcium deposit compared with patients who received no treatment.
In contrast, the study by Perron and Malouin provides evidence that this intervention is not effective in accelerating resorption of calcific lesions in the supraspinatus tendon.

Certain physical effects, however, might be expected to leave a detectable alteration in the affected object, or a permanent record of an instrumented measurement of a physical quantity.
The evidence suggests that, at 5:16:11, the load and generation characteristics of the Canada-United States interchange caused such a condition to be reached.
Of all physical effects claimed to be due to the presence of UFOs, the alleged malfunction of automobile motors is perhaps the most puzzling.

 Evidence for Physical Resurrection of Jesus
Have you taken the trouble to decide which it is? In a matter this weighty, it is in your interest to explore the truth or falsity of His claims.
Skeptical prejudice typically leads to an evasion of the evidence, rather than to that kind of critical analysis which is required on a case-by-case basis.
For example, his contention that no amount of evidence is ever sufficient to overturn unbelief in the face of a miracle-claim, commits the logical fallacy of begging the question.

 Physical Evidence (Marketing Mix)
Physical evidence is the material part of a service.
Strictly speaking there are no physical attributes to a service, so a consumer tends to rely on material cues.

 NOVA Online/Kidnapped by UFOs/Where's the Physical Evidence?
Abduction proponents frequently point to such physical evidence - photographs of 'ground traces' left by UFOs, or most commonly, reports of strange scars or scoop marks on the body of an abductee.
One MIT physicist, a fervent proponent in alien abductions and in the process of scientific inquiry, has confirmed that there is not one, single, independently confirmed piece of scientific evidence for an alien abduction.
In fact when pressed further, most proponents themselves back off the importance of such 'conventional' data, and point instead to what they refer to as the real evidence for abductions; that is, the similarities in the stories themselves, and the sincerity and emotionality with which they are told.
