Circumstantial evidence
Evidence that indirectly supports a conclusion, but allows for multiple explanations
Circumstantial evidence is evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact, such as a fingerprint at the scene of a crime. By contrast, direct evidence supports the truth of an assertion directly, i.e. without need for any additional evidence or inference.
