What is the difference between “lay” and “lie”?

English

These are two different verbs: one means: to be positioned horizontally (lie) and the other to position something else horizontally, to put something down (lay)

They sound similar and have a meaning connected to being horizontal, that's one reason for their confusion.

Make sure you also don't confuse their past tenses:

Lay: laid

lie: lay

Yes, Lay is the present tense of one of them and the past of the other: that's the other reason for their confusion!

Answer:

Circumstantial evidence, in the context of law, means evidence that can only be proven through the support of another fact.

Explanation:

In other words, the evidence cannot stand on its own. In the context of the example, for example, it would be that the bus driver was found guilty of murder since his fingerprints were found in the scene of the crime.

However, his fingerprints alone do not tell us who is the culprit of the murder - it's possible that his fingerprints were there because he and the murder victims were close friends, and thus his fingerprints can be found all over the apartment.

When relying merely on circumstantial evidence (such as one previously exemplified), it is possible that the evidence is misattributed. A piece of stronger evidence would be direct ones, for example, if the murder weapon was found on him, or if there were eyewitness report showing that he was at the scene of the crime when it occurred.
