Direct evidence is a body of facts that directly supports the truth of an assertion without intervening inference. It is evidence that directly proves a fact in issue, and if believed, can lead to the conclusion that the fact happened without requiring an inference to be made. Direct evidence is often exemplified by eyewitness testimony, which consists of a witnesss description of their reputed direct sensory experience of an alleged act without the presentation of additional facts. Other examples of direct evidence include security camera footage, threatening emails, and the testimony of a witness who saw the actual commission of a crime. Direct evidence is distinguished from circumstantial evidence, which can help prove via inference whether an assertion is true, such as forensics presented by an expert witness. The law draws no distinction between circumstantial evidence and direct evidence in terms of weight or importance, and either type of evidence or a combination of both may be enough to meet the applicable burden of proof, depending on the facts of the case as determined by the finder of fact.
