Testimonies are statements given by individuals about their firsthand knowledge or experiences regarding a particular subject matter. They can serve as evidence in legal proceedings or persuasive arguments.
Think of testimonies as ingredients in a recipe for truth. Just like different ingredients contribute to the flavor and quality of a dish, testimonies provide diverse perspectives that help build a comprehensive understanding.

Eyewitness Testimony: Accounts given by individuals who have directly witnessed a specific event or crime.
