Courtroom Testimony

Courtroom testimony is the formal statement given by a witness under oath during a legal proceeding. It involves answering questions from attorneys or the judge about what the witness observed or knows related to a case. The purpose is to provide factual information that helps the court determine the truth and make a fair decision. Testimony is recorded and may be subject to cross-examination, where the opposing side can ask questions to clarify or challenge the witness’s account. Accurate and honest testimony is vital for ensuring justice.
