Virtually all evidence presented in courts is circumstantial (including DNA, fingerprints, etc.), eyewitness testimony of the actual crime is pretty much the only thing that isn’t.


If they have anything like that then there might be the case, but so far all that is publicly known is that Boeing plausibly had a motive for wanting them dead. No sane prosecutor will try their luck with only that to go on.


So the argument is that’s it’s weak evidence, not circumstantial. Circumstantial evidence is often the strongest kind.
