What the dictionary doesn't explain:
 
Evidence is Fleeting.
It is Open to Manipulation and Destruction.
 
The first thing the police do when an incident occurs is to freeze the scene and document whatever is found.
Statements are taken from witnesses.
The scene is photographed, videotaped and/or diagramed. 
Physical evidence is collected for analysis.  
 
Why?
 
          Witnesses can move or even pass away 
          Memories can fade
          Alibis can be manufactured
          Evidence can be altered, concealed or destroyed
          A locations physical characteristics can change over time
         
 
Your case in court is made or broken based on the evidence you are able to present.
 
Best practice is to document evidence as soon as possible.
