lay witness
A lay witness, also known as a fact witness, is a person who testifies in a court case based on their personal knowledge of events, circumstances, or facts related to the case. Unlike an expert witness, they do not provide any expert opinions or professional evaluation but testify based on their firsthand experience or observation. They may be used to confirm an event or situation, to corroborate other evidence, or to provide a character reference. The credibility of their testimony depends on their honesty, accuracy, and ability to recall details.
