Evidence

One of the hardest tasks on Factland is finding good evidence that helps a jury come to a conclusive decision.

Indicators of good evidence

  • Primary document or source
  • Directly addresses the claim
  • Reveals new information not contained in other evidence
  • Is material to determining the veracity of the claim

Examples of bad evidence

  • Rumors and hearsay
  • Links to unknown sources
  • Orthogonal to what's being claimed
