direct evidence
testimony of a witness concerning the fact to be proved (as opposed to circumstantial evidence)
Direct evidence
Direct evidence is testimony or other proof which expressly or straight-forwardly proves the existence of a fact. It is different from circumstantial evidence, which is evidence that, without going directly to prove the existence of a fact, gives rise to a logical inference that such fact does exist.
