Criminal Investigation

Question

What was the role and types of physical Evidence, and was it direct or circumstantial, and why do you think that?

Answer 1

Direct evidence is evidence that (if believed) directly proves a fact. Eyewitness testimony and videotaped documentation accounts for the majority of all direct evidence heard in the criminal courtroom. Photographs are also considered direct evidence.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence that requires interpretation or that requires a judge or jury to reach a conclusion based on what the evidence indicates. Essentially, it is indirect. For example, a person who heard gunshots and moments later saw someone run by with a smoking gun in hand might testify to those facts.

I believe your question was in reference to something you had to read or watch. Without further information I am unable to fully answer the question but I hope this helps!
