Question for people who do not accept evolution: Suppose someone robbed your house (see details) - How would you deal with this?

Here’s the scenario:

The robber took all your valuable belongings and the loss amounts to more than $10000. There were no witnesses. You were out of the country enjoying a vacation with your family. After your return the police are investigating the matter. A group of trained investigators including forensic experts collect fingerprints, hair, fiber samples and other material. Weeks later a suspect gets arrested and there’s a trial. The forensic evidence proves very useful, but the robbers denies all accusations.

Would you be in favor of convicting the robber even though nobody was present at the time of the robbery? The conviction would only be based on clues which were left behind in the past.

If your answer is yes, why do you not trust the evidence about the history of life? Why do you not accept evolution? What is the difference between forensic evidence used against criminals and biological evidence proving evolution?
