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.
