That would be evidence collected at the scene of the crime? The best evidence there is?

There are only two types of evidence as I understand it, circumstantial and eyewitness.

Of the two I will take circumstantial any day of the week.

Close. There are circumstantial evidence and direct evidence. Cirumstantial evidence doesn't directly prove anything. The jury must infer proof from the evidence. So if "A" is a suspect in a crime and his fingerprints are found at the scene it can be infered that he was present at the scene. Direct evidence stands on its own to prove an alleged fact. It includes eyewitness testimony but also includes things such as conversations, admissions against interest, deeds contracts, etc.
