Maybe you would want to insert the term "circumstantial" or so.

Definitionally both circumstantial and direct evidence are forms of evidence. No modifier is necessary.

And incidentally you can be convicted in a court of law purely on circumstantial evidence, and that's the place in society where we have the highest standard of proof. The evidence all being circumstantial is not a gotcha.
