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.

I’m sure you’ll get good merit aid though. Look at Michigan’s 509 report. They’re very generous.
