==Background==
In the United States, the law is comprised of legislative acts creating statutes, court decisions, executive orders and rules and regulations promulgated by administrative agencies. In certain circumstances, censoring liberal activists have taken the position that the "law" also includes any action by government actors, including prayer by teachers in schools. It is through this flawed assumption that liberals have been successful in censoring prayer in schools. The position that the actions of a school teacher are tenuous at best, and had no basis in real law until liberal activist judges gave it substance in school prayer cases in order to further their ideological preferences.

== Evidence in a court case ==
In law, [[evidence]] is data, information or objects that support a legal claim or fact in the context of a particular legal case. The legal rules relating to evidence vary by legal systems (Country, state/province, city, town, etc.).
== Types of evidence ==
Broadly speaking, below are the types of evidence in legal cases:
'''1.''' Direct evidence: Direct evidence is straightforward in nature (Eyewitness's testimony, physical object, a confession)
'''2.''' Circumstantial evidence (Indirect evidence): Suggests a fact, but it doesn't directly prove it (Eyewitness testimony that suspect was seen near the crime scene, etc.)
'''3.''' Physical evidence: Tangible that is relevant to a trial and can be used to help prove facts or link a defendant to a crime. It's commonly known as real evidence or material evidence (Weapons, fingerprints or DNA evidence)
'''4.''' Documentary evidence: Written or recorded materials (Contracts, emails, medical records, audio/video recordings, etc.)
'''5.''' Expert evidence: Expert testimony from a qualified and relevant expert, such as a medical expert
'''6.''' Corroborating evidence: Strengthens or confirms other evidence in a trial (Another eyewitness backs up a witness's testimony in a trial)
'''7.''' Testimonial evidence: Testimony from a witness under oath, such as when a witness testifies in court that they saw a crime or an affidavit.
