Direct evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, is generally considered more powerful, but successful criminal prosecutions often rely largely on circmstantial evidence, and civil charges are frequently based on circumstantial or indirect evidence. When circumstantial evidence is cumulative, the weakness of such circumstntial evidence is strengthened.

Circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence which creates a situation from which a main fact may be inferred. For example; in a murder trial there may not be direct evidence based on first-hand eyewitness accounts of the actual murder itself, but the circumstantial evidence may consist of threats made, fingerprints at the crime scene, or the presence of the accused at, or in the vicinity of, the crime.

Is it legal for a judge to refuse evidence in traffic court?

A judge has final say on what is or is not admissable in their court. The only recourse if the evidence was refused is to file for an appeal and have the appeals court see if his/her refusal of the evidence was justified. If they find in favor of the judge, you're out of luck. If on the other hand the appeals court decides the evidence should be admissable, the case will most likely be retried with the new evidence presented.


What is recourse funding?

Recourse funding is a type of loan for which collateral is placed.
