rebuttal evidence

rebuttal evidence
Evidence given to explain, repel, counteract, or disprove facts given in evidence by the opposing party. That which tends to explain or contradict or disprove evidence offered by the adverse party. Layton v. State, 261 Ind. 251, 301 N.E.2d 633, 636.
Rebuttal occurs during the trial stage where evidence is given by one party to refute evidence introduced by the other party. Evidence which is offered by a party after he has rested his case and after the opponent has rested in order to contradict the opponent's evidence.

Also evidence given in opposition to a presumption of fact or a prima facie case; in this sense, it may be not only counteracting evidence, but evidence sufficient to counteract, that is, conclusive.
