| 单词 | Circumstantial evidence |
| 释义 | 環境證據 Evidence of a fact or facts from which another fact or series of facts relevant to the case might be inferred or deduced. There is no rule of law that such evidence is to be treated differently from other evidence. Accordingly the judge is not under any duty to direct the jury on the significance of circumstantial evidence as distinct from direct evidence: R v Wong Mau Ting [1967] HKLR 531. Where circumstantial evidence is relied upon, the jury should be simply directed to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt: McGreevy v DPP [1973] 1 All ER 503, 1 WLR 276 (HL); R v Sze Sing Ming [1991] 2 HKLR 481. See also Direction to jury; Evidence. 一項事實或一連串事實，從中可推斷或推定出涉案的另一項事實或多項事實。沒有任何法律規則規定該等證據與其他證據會不同處理。相應地法官不負有任何義務，就環境證據與直接證據 的不同的重要性而指示陪審團：R v Wong Mau Ting [1967] HKLR 531。當依賴環境證據時，法官僅應指示陪審團在無合理疑點的情況下信納：McGreevy v DPP [1973] 1 All ER 503, 1 WLR 276（上議院）；R v Sze Sing Ming [1991] 2 HKLR 481。另見 Direction to jury; Evidence。 |
