Grid search
This is known as testimonial evidence, statements made uder oath such as eyewitness accounts and statements made by expert or competent witnesses in court
Direct Evidence
1st copy is done in pencil

Spiral Search
Tangible items that prove a material fact. These items are found at the crime scene, on the victim, or in the suspect's possession. This type of evidence is much more reliable that testimonial evidence because it is objective rather than subjective. Blood, body fluids, tool marks, drugs, paint, gunshot residue, ammunition, etc.
