"The judge has determined the evidence."

What would this mean?

It doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you for your answer, Rover!

SmilyCatThank you for your answer, Rover!Would this have meaning?"The judge determined sufficient evidence."

No.
Evidence would be one of these items:
- fingerprints at the crime scene
