A quick definition of corroborate:

Term: Corroborate

Definition: Corroborate means to make someone's story stronger by providing additional evidence that supports what they are saying. It's like adding more pieces to a puzzle to make the picture clearer. For example, if a witness says they saw someone commit a crime, other evidence like fingerprints or security camera footage can corroborate their story and make it more believable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To confirm and make more certain the substantiating testimony of a witness or a party at a trial. It means to support evidence.

For example, if a witness testifies that they saw a suspect at the scene of a crime, other evidence such as video footage or DNA samples can corroborate their testimony and make it more credible.

In legal terms, corroborate means to strengthen the probative, criminating force of a witness's testimony. It does not prove any particular fact but rather supports the overall credibility of the witness.
