Direct Evidence: In legal terms, direct evidence is any material or information that directly proves a fact. It is evidence that, if believed, immediately establishes the truth of a fact without inference or presumption and does not require further support or corroboration. Examples of direct evidence include eyewitness testimony, a confession, or a video recording of the event in question. Direct evidence can be contrasted with circumstantial evidence, which suggests the truth of a fact indirectly through inference.
