However clever a criminal may be, it is nature's law that something goes wrong and he is caught.
One's a criminal is caught, if he is a simple person, he prays to God for his acquittal.
If he is a little clever or intelligent or influential person, he tries to destroy evidences against him.
Because he knows that a judge will not be able to convict him unless there is evidence on record.
First, deals are with police. Something happens and some evidences become doubtful.
Second, he engages a very clever lawyer, known for getting more acquittal. The lawyer pulls down the evidence to make them look unreliable by art of cross examination, knowledge and experience.
In the last scene, only some threads of evidences remain for a judge to consider. If he considers as reliable even one thread of evidence against accused, he convicts the accused.
This is what I mean by words "hanged by a thread".
Moral: Quantity of Evidence is not relevant. Quality of Evidence is important.
