AI overview
A witness in law is a person who provides testimony—either spoken or written—about what they have seen, heard, or know about an event or situation, either by choice or because they're legally required to do so. Witnesses matter because their accounts of events are crucial evidence used in legal proceedings to help courts and juries determine what actually happened and make fair decisions in cases.

證人（英語：Witness），指案件相關的人，他們在刑事或民事訴訟中，提供用來描述與案件或訴訟相關的資訊，包括時地人事，以協助司法審判之進行。由案件或訴訟相關的原告或被告或其辯護律師聲請傳喚，再由法院開出傳票，傳訊證人到庭作證。在一些刑事案件中，有時候會依證人是否坦白與其涉案程度，而有可能由原本的證人身分轉列被告。
