@sldsy,
What's the sentence?

Btw, that's not a question of grammar but, rather, of word choice. Whether you say 'material' or 'physical' depends in large part on the image you want to convey.

Physical evidence is distinguished from testimonial evidence. Physical evidence consists of things like hairs, fibers, fingerprints, shoe prints, bodily fluids, contraband, etc.

Material evidence is any evidence that is likely to affect the outcome of the case.
