Evidence

Evidence, broadly construed, is anything presented in support of an assertion. This support may be strong or weak. The strongest type of evidence is that which provides direct proof of the truth of an assertion. At the other extreme is evidence that is merely consistent with an assertion but does not rule out other, contradictory assertions, as in circumstantial evidence.

In law, rules of evidence govern the types of evidence that are admissible in a legal proceeding. Types of legal evidence include testimony, documentary evidence, and physical evidence. The parts of a legal case which are not in controversy are known, in general, as the "facts of the case." Beyond any facts that are undisputed, a judge or jury is usually tasked with being a trier of fact for the other issues of a case. Evidence and rules are used to decide questions of fact that are disputed, some of which may be determined by the legal burden of proof relevant to the case. Evidence in certain cases (e.g. capital crimes) must be more compelling than in other situations (e.g. minor civil disputes), which drastically affects the quality and quantity of evidence necessary to decide a case.

The Weather Man

The Weather Man is a 2005 American drama film, directed by Gore Verbinski. Written by Steve Conrad, it stars Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine and Hope Davis, and tells the story of a weatherman in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Released on October 28, 2005, the film had a total gross of just over $19 million worldwide. It received mixed reviews from critics.

Plot

A successful weatherman at a Chicago news program, David Spritz (Nicolas Cage) is well paid but garners little respect from people in the area who throw fast food at him, David suspects, because they're resentful of how easy his high-paying job is. Dave also feels overshadowed by his father, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Spritzel (Michael Caine), who is disappointed in Dave's apparent inability to grow up and deal with his two children. The situation worsens when Robert is diagnosed with lymphoma and given only a few months to live. As he becomes more and more depressed, Dave takes up archery, finding the activity a way to build his focus and calm his nerves.

Two singles were released from the album: "Mr. Slow Flow" and "All Said & Done". Neither charted, but the album did spend one week on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, at number 42. Music videos were created for "Mr. Slow Flow" and "Chase the Clouds Away".

Trivia

The instrumental to "Mr. Slow Flow", produced by Sid Roams, was used by the rapper Drake on the track "Asthma Team" on his mixtape Comeback Season.

During "Mr. Slow Flow", Evidence possibly drew inspiration for the name of his second full length album Cats and Dogs with the line "umbrellas up, these cats are dogs" at 3:00 into the track.
