This article is mainly about civil cases.
If a case has nothing to do with you, including the parties to the case, judges, clerks, and anyone you don't know, and you don't know the people involved in the facts of the case, and the things involved in the case and the outcome of the case have nothing to do with you, then are you willing to testify?The reality is that the vast majority of people don't want to, and the reason at the end of the day is that it's none of your business, and you'll think it's an idle business.
So for the above situation, it is difficult to say what is wrong with it, this is to help you is love, not to help you is duty, it really has no obligation to help you. If the above conditions** are familiar to one of the parties or related to the outcome of the case, then the likelihood of testifying will skyrocket. Most of the former care about face and friendship, while the latter is about their own interests.
In reality, there are fewer and fewer types of witnesses who testify with good intentions and help strangers in strange things. The vast majority of witnesses testify, and the witnesses did not testify for no reason, and there must be something in them. Then this also echoes why the effectiveness of witness testimony in civil case evidence ranks so low, and the witnesses you have worked so hard to find, appear in court and sign in writing, it is difficult to influence the outcome of your case in the end.
As far as the outcome of the case is concerned, witness testimony, unless there is a large number (more than 6 witnesses testifying), is at best the icing on the cake, not a blessing in disguise.
