Evidence Classification

Direct vs. Circumstantial

Look closely at each photo of evidence and decide whether it’s direct or circumstantial. Direct Evidence proves someone committed the act. Circumstantial Evidence only connects them by association. Tip: Ask yourself — does this clue prove they did it, or just that they were there?Click on each photo to classify.
