Suspicions
A suspicion is not an evidence. To sentence people only on suspicions will over a time lead to an in per cent margin of error so a certain number of people for sure are innocent sentenced.
A guilty person can be without suspicions. And an innocent person can have suspicions against oneself. Suspicions give grounds for detailed lectures; but such lectures are not evidences.
A criminal can even steer the suspicion over to someone else. A criminal can also be clever at removing suspicions against oneself. But an innocent person does not at all think about removing suspicions against oneself.
Suspicions are not always correct. It is a crime to sentence innocent people. Seriously crimes call someone to account, and that make great demands for a clearing up, that can be dangerous for innocent people.
Sophisticated criminals can even hide the whole crime; to find out about the crime is in itself something important in such situations. Suspicions can lead to find out about the crime, that is to come a little nearer finding the criminals too.
