A quick definition of contrary to the evidence:

Term: Contrary to the Evidence

Definition: When someone makes an argument or finding that goes against the evidence presented in a hearing, it is called "contrary to the evidence." This means that the evidence shows one thing, but the argument or finding says something different. It's like saying the sky is green when we can all see that it's blue.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When an argument or finding goes against the evidence presented in a hearing or trial.

Example 1: During a trial, a witness testifies that they saw the defendant at the scene of the crime. However, the defendant's lawyer argues that their client was out of town at the time. This argument is contrary to the evidence presented by the witness.

Example 2: In a scientific study, the researchers find that a certain medication is effective in treating a particular illness. However, a pharmaceutical company disputes these findings and claims that their own research shows the medication is not effective. This claim is contrary to the evidence presented in the original study.

These examples illustrate how an argument or finding can be considered contrary to the evidence when it goes against what has been presented and proven in a hearing or study.
