Every single murder investigation, trial and conviction has gaps in knowledge. Let's free all the convicted murderers then, since they have been imprisoned based on philosophy.
Wonder how we ever convict anyone of murder?
Actually, they were imprisoned based on philosophy. Reasoning is thinking about something in a logically ordered way. Logic is a branch of philosophy. What a murder trial is NOT is a scientific experiment.
