Witness testimony has important legal effect and influence. As an important form of evidence, witness testimony can directly prove the facts of a case. The law requires that the testimony of witnesses must be true, reliable and credible in order to provide accurate information for the court. At the same time, the testimony of witnesses should be examined and questioned by the court, and judges and juries will evaluate the credibility, consistency and relativity of witnesses. The validity of witness testimony depends on the honesty, memory, observation and understanding of the case. In addition, the testimony of witnesses is also influenced by the confirmation and refutation of other evidence, and the court will comprehensively consider all the evidence to make a fair ruling. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the legal effect and influence of witness testimony for the trial and judgment of the case.
