29. True and false.
Direct evidence is actually easier for a good lawyer to twist. An eye witness will often be able to be confused while on the witness stand. Give me two eye witnesses, and there will be different stories. Eye witness testimony - the most direct of direct - is not as good in many cases as indirect evidence.

For example, who did CNN report may have said that the evidence in this case was "garbage"? It was the fellow who ended up the foreman, not someone given the boot. People often interpret what they see and hear in a manner that just ain't so.
