Question

a tread pattern found in the mud at a crime scene is an example of ______ evidence.
a. circumstantial biological
b. direct corporeal
c. indirect physical
d. direct organic

Explanation:

A tread pattern in mud is physical evidence (not biological/organic). It’s indirect as it requires inference (e.g., linking to a suspect’s shoe) rather than direct proof. Option c fits: indirect (needs inference) and physical (tangible evidence).

Answer:

c. indirect physical
