Eyewitness testimony refers to an account given by individuals who have witnessed an event, typically in the context of legal proceedings, such as criminal trials. This testimony is based on a person's direct observations and perceptions of an event, such as a crime or accident, and it can include details about what the eyewitness saw, heard, or experienced. While eyewitness testimony can be a powerful form of evidence, it is also subject to various psychological factors that can affect its accuracy.
