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.
Sometimes they're imprisoned based on mistaken or untruthful witnesses.
I suppose that falls under the theological branch of jurisprudence.
