What are the differences of evidence in law and evidence in normal life?
Primarily, at law and equity, evidence (1) must be under many circumstances authenticated; (2) can be excluded as not logically relevant and not legally relevant; and, (3) can be excluded from court proceedings as hearsay, unless exempted or excluded under the rules of evidence. "Evidence" in normal life need not even truly exist, but need only be perceived as existing.

Is it considered a hearsay statement if the defendant struck plaintiff and a witness testimony that she saw the defendant strike the plaintiff?
No, a witness testifying that they personally saw the defendant strike the plaintiff is not considered hearsay. Hearsay involves relaying information heard from someone else outside of the courtroom. Since the witness is providing firsthand knowledge of the event, their testimony is typically admissible as direct evidence.

Can stolen US mail be used as evidence in a court of law?
Stolen mail, like anything else, can be used as evidence if it meets the rules of evidence. Any sort of evidence can be excluded if it violates the evidence rules. If it is irrelevant, if it was obtained in violation of the 4th amendment, if it is hearsay, etc, it will be excluded. If you are a party to a lawsuit and you stole the other party's mail for the purpose of entering it as evidence, you probably won't be allowed to admit it. However, if you are on trial for tampering with the mail, the mail you stole would most definitely be evidence against you.
Can hearsay of a habitual violator of a crime say a man with no record of such crime is the guilty party when all evidence is found on violator's property?
No, since the question presumes the evidence is hearsay; therefore it is inadmissible even if the witness had the highest degree of credibility. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule and many instances where an out of court statement seems to be inadmissible hearsay but is not (i.e. non hearsay hearsay), that it serves no purpose to provide facts that would allow the statement to be used at trial. If the question posed more facts than just the statement that the evidence is hearsay, they would show whether the statement is admissible under an exception or as non hearsay hearsay. Once the statement is admitted as evidence it would be up to the jury to determine if the witness is believable.

No, elements of bribery cannot be definitively proven through hearsay alone. Hearsay involves relaying information that was heard from someone else and is typically not admissible as evidence in court due to reliability concerns.
