Q: Are there any requirements that a witness or testimony must meant before they/it can be used in the court of law?
For example, when a person claims they were present when a crime took place, would they have to prove this in anyway or is any person who claims to know something about a case accepted?
A:
This is typically proven in court on direct and/or cross examination. This is the importance of good legal counsel. If you haven’t already, it is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case and provide you with tailored representation.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.
