Direct and Circumstantial Evidence, Explained (Ep. 52)

Description: On this episode of I'll Allow It Nevada, we're joined by Sr. Judge Richard Glasson to dive into one of the most fundamental topics in the courtroom: evidence. Before getting into objections, admissibility, or complex rulings, this conversation goes back to first principles and focuses on a simple but essential question: What is evidence? We explore the core definition of evidence and the different forms it can take in the courtroom, including witness testimony, documents, physical objects, and recordings. While these forms may look very different, they all serve the same essential function. Along the way, we discuss how judges can think about evidence in practical terms, how to distinguish evidence from argument or speculation, and why having a clear understanding of these basics leads to more confident and consistent decision-making on the bench.
