How to use "Witness" in context?
Witness can either be a noun or a verb. In conducting a legal proceeding, we call a witness to testify in open court. In everyday language, witness simply means someone who has seen something happen and can provide testimony about it. As such, a witness can be anyone who has direct knowledge of a particular event - whether it's a close family member or acquaintance, a work colleague, or a pedestrian who happened to cross the defendant's path during the commission of a crime.
Witnesses offer a wealth of valuable information in criminal proceedings. Not only do they help jurors make an informed decision, they can also provide critical insight into the crime scene.
