The Three Types of Evidence
Within the Federal Rules of Evidence, there are two specific types -- direct evidence and circumstantial evidence (Unit 2, n.d.). In both of these two groups, there are three types of evidence which will be discussed here. These are demonstrative, testimonial, and physical. It is important to explain what each one of these is, how they are different from one another, and also to give an example of each kind of evidence for clarity of understanding. All evidence, however, no matter what category it falls into, must be both material and relevant in order to comply with rules of admissibility.
Demonstrative evidence is generally used as a visual aid (Unit 2, n.d.). In other words, it can include maps, graphs, charts, and many other types of aids that may be used in the court room in an attempt to prove either innocence or guilt. Because of this, demonstrative evidence can be very important. An example of demonstrative evidence would be the x-ray showing the instruments left inside the patient in a malpractice suit against a doctor. This type of evidence is often very strong and can sometimes also be shocking to a judge and a jury when it involves visual aids that are obscene, graphic, or painful to see. It often sways a jury to some extent because it can be used to show the suffering of an individual, although it must be relevant to the specific case at hand before a judge will allow it. It must not be shown simply for shock value, but to make a relevant and significant point about the case.

"The criterion for the admissibility of a confession has thus evolved into the quality of voluntariness. The aim of admitting into evidence only voluntary confessions is to prevent the introduction of unreliable evidence. & #8230; the result is that judges may exclude confessions where the coercion is blatant and obvious but not exclude confessions where the coercion" is more subtle -- the jury is left to decide the confession's
