But zero evidence that there was an actual crime. There's a big difference between having a letter from somebody claiming to have committed a crime without any evidence that it actually happened, versus finding a particular person guilty of a known crime based on a confession to that crime.

Many people are found guilty on circumstantial evidence a lot weaker than that.

You're talking about circumstantial evidence that links them to the crime... not circumstantial evidence that the crime itself existed.
