Explanation:
Circumstantial evidence is defined as inference of information from other, intermediate, relevant facts.
Secondary evidence is a copy of evidence or oral description of its contents. Conclusive evidence is
incontrovertible and overrides all other evidence and hearsay evidence is evidence that is not based on
personal, first-hand knowledge of the witness, but was obtained from another source. Computer-generated
records normally fall under the category of hearsay evidence.
