Target lemma: circus
Target surface form: circus
Context:
There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "<t>circus</t> atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=circus%1:14:00:: | definition=a travelling company of entertainers; including trained animals | examples=he ran away from home to join the circus

raw_output:
The context describes a trial with intense media coverage, particularly via Twitter, leading to a "circus atmosphere" where public passions may have swayed the jury. This usage aligns with the sense of "circus" meaning a frenetic, disorganized, and often comic disturbance suggestive of a large public entertainment, implying chaos and sensationalism rather than a traditional traveling show of acrobats and animals. The synonym "carnival" further supports this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

Target lemma: trial
Target surface form: trial
Context:
In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this <t>trial</t>, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion.

The sentence discusses the potential impact of new technology (Twitter) on fair-trial rights, specifically the risk that widespread public exposure to trial details could sway the jury. The phrase "real <t>danger</t> that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights" aligns with the sense of **danger** as a cause of harm or injury to rights, rather than a venture or a dangerous place. This matches the definition: "a cause of pain or injury or loss." Therefore, the best sense is:

Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no <t>evidence</t> the jury was driven by passion."*

**Analysis:**
- The phrase *"there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion"* is used in a legal context, discussing whether the jury's decision was influenced by public passions or media coverage.
- The word *evidence* here refers to the factual basis or proof that would support or refute the claim that the jury was swayed by external influences.
- This aligns with the legal definition of evidence as "all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved."

**Comparison with Candidate Senses:**
1. **Sense 1:** Refers to grounds for belief or disbelief, more general and philosophical. Not the best fit for a legal context.
2. **Sense 2:** Refers to an indication that makes something evident, more about observable signs. Less precise for legal proof.
3. **Sense 3:** Specifically addresses legal evidence, the means to establish or disprove a matter of fact in a trial. This matches the context perfectly.

**Conclusion:**
The best indexed sense for *evidence* in this context is the legal definition, which is **Sense 3**.

**Final Answer:**
