Circumstantial evidence refers to facts from which the judge can infer the existence of a fact in issue, including facts not directly related but connected to the facts in issue that together form a chain of circumstances leading to an inference of the principal fact, and all circumstantial evidence must be given directly as oral evidence under section 60.
