Re: Who am I to argue with US jurisprudence? I speak merely for myself. But I would have thought that circumstantial evidence is not proper evidence.

Indeed, as someone who candidly believes in the HISTORICAL existence of Jesus Christ, who are you to challenge Don's circumstancial evidence? Do you have EVIDENCE of Mr Jesus' existence as a real person? Can you adduce contemporary testimonies OTHER THAN the apocryphal gospels? Did some Roman author ever mention the so-called Jesus?

Footnote:

Christians make much of the few non-Christian references to Jesus. As you shall see below, none of these sources are sufficient evidence to prove that there was an historical Jesus; viz., historical enough to overturn the speculation of some scholars that the legend was seeded by an Essene teacher executed around 100 BC. As I have shown in History of Christ, [...] the silence of Paul in his Epistles is prima facie evidence for the Gospels being too unreliable to be considered a source for the life or for the teachings of Jesus. The Pagan sources are no help to the Christians.
