Yes it is evidence. You said it yourself, "he had to do that in order to be able to invoke the act." Whether it is a stipulation inside of it or not is irrelevant because again, as you said, it's a precursor to it. That's evidence. For instance, "someone saying 'i know a guy that said' is NOT a credible source" doesn't make what that someone said untrue.
Oh I definitely think its circumstantial! but like I said, it’s not necessarily evidence, or maybe should I say hard evidence. It’s what we are assuming to be true based on the circumstances. I hope he did it!
