Indirect evidence: evidence that establishes immediately collateral facts from which the main fact may be inferred

direct evidence: evidence that directly proves a fact without an inference or presumption, and which in itself, if true, conclusively establishes that fact


I don't know how to make it clearer than that if it didn't help
