Terminology: Prima facie

Latin for “at first sight.”

The establishment of a legally required rebuttable presumption. When the prosecution concludes its submission, the State’s case is said to be prima facie if the evidence presented is sufficient for a conviction.

(from Cornell Law School legal dictionary online)
