What is the English translation of the Latin term "prima facie"?

Prima facie (pree-mah-fey-shah) refers to evidence that is deemed adequate to support a claim, unless the other provides exculpatory evidence of its own. For example, if the prosecution submits a notebook in which the defendant has written hateful things about the victim, that piece of evidence might be deemed prima facie evidence of intent to harm the victim.
