 Corroborating evidence

Corroborating evidence refers to additional information or evidence that supports or confirms the validity of a claim, theory, or piece of evidence. It serves to reinforce the reliability of the original evidence by providing further backing from independent sources or different forms of proof. For example, in a legal context, if one witness testifies that they saw an event occur, corroborating evidence might include video footage, physical evidence, or the testimony of another witness who supports that account.
