Study Notes

Types of Evidence

  • Direct Evidence

    • Refers to firsthand observations, such as eyewitness accounts, providing immediate proof of something.
  • Circumstantial Evidence

    • Implies facts that may point toward a conclusion but does not definitively prove guilt of an individual.
  • Class Evidence

    • Helps to narrow down an identity to a specific group of persons or objects rather than an individual.
  • Individual Evidence

    • Identifies a unique individual or object, offering stronger proof compared to class evidence.
  • Trace Evidence

    • Involves small, measurable amounts of biological or physical materials that can be analyzed for forensic purposes.
