DIRECT EVIDENCE
Evidence in the form of testimony from a witness who actually saw, heard, or touched the subject of questioning. Evidence that, if believed, proves existence of the fact in issue without inference or presumption. That means of proof which tends to show the existence of a fact in question, without the intervention of the proof of any other fact, and which is distinguished fromcircumstantial evidence, often called indirect.
Evidence that directly proves a fact, without an inference or presumption, and which in itself, if true, conclusively establishes that fact.
