PiMac,
First, I am not an attorney, but it is my understanding that very often criminal (or civil) convictions are made based on circumstantial evidence. A court of law (or a hearing) is a fact finding endeavor to determine the truth. In most cases, eyewitnesses cannot be found. So, cases must be pieced together based on the discovery process of what is known.

In the Clinton/PJ case, it is basically his word against hers. So, given all the facts that are known, who do you believe? I think PJ was closer to the truth than BC.

circumstantial evidence (sûr'kem-stàn'shel èv'î-dens) noun
Law.
Evidence not bearing directly on the fact in dispute but on various attendant circumstances from which the judge or jury might infer the occurrence of the fact in dispute.
