Not On Record | EP#157 | Top 10 Things That Make a Good Witness

In this episode, Joseph and Diana share a top 10 list for giving good testimony, advising witnesses to present themselves as eager and credible by maintaining good demeanor, listening carefully, and answering questions directly. They emphasize the importance of making admissions against one's own interests to build trust, and balancing emotional expression without overreacting. Avoiding speculation, focusing on personal knowledge, and refraining from putting one's character on trial are also key to delivering effective testimony, whether in direct examination or under cross-examination.
