Is there such a word...?

A US policeman has just used the phrase '..there was no evidentiary link..'on the History channel.

All my dictionaries are in the office, so I can't confirm my suspicion that this is drivel.

Of evidence; evidential.
For the presentation or determination of evidence: an evidentiary hearing.

Hmm... it still sounds wrong to me. But there you go. ;-)

I think it was perfectly reasonably of you to assume an American used a made-up word. Think how many they make up anyway, such as "thru" and "theater" and BLOODY "CENTER"!!!!!
Which I have to abuse my keyboard with on a regular (HTML) basis.

Unless the word is used in relation to someone who divides things into 100s or 1/100ths ?
