Inferences are deductions or conclusions that with reason and common sense lead the jury to draw from facts which have been established by the evidence in the case. inference n. a rule of logic applied to evidence in a trial, in which a fact is "proved" by presenting other "facts" which lead to only one reasonable conclusion--that if A and B are true, then C is.
