Yes. Unless the defense presents plausible objections, the evidence stands.
Yes. We don't bother with proving someone else innocent to see if your defendant is innocent. We wait for positive evidence to see if your defendant is actually guilty before calling them so.
This applies well to many claims. Don't accept a claim until you have enough positive evidence to believe it. Disproving another claim does not make your claim more noteworthy. "I don't believe it" is the default until shown otherwise.
Thank you for understanding.
