A quick definition of cumulative testimony:

Cumulative testimony is when multiple witnesses give the same or similar testimony to strengthen a party's case. This is usually limited by the court. Other types of testimony include affirmative testimony, which is when a witness testifies about something they saw or heard; expert testimony, which is given by a qualified expert; and opinion testimony, which is based on a witness's belief or idea rather than direct knowledge. Testimony de bene esse is taken when a witness may not be available in the future, and written testimony is given in the form of a deposition or affidavit.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cumulative testimony is when multiple witnesses give identical or similar testimony in order to strengthen a party's case. The court usually limits this type of testimony.

Example: In a trial, three witnesses testify that they saw the defendant at the scene of the crime. This is an example of cumulative testimony because all three witnesses are saying the same thing, which is meant to make the jury believe that the defendant was there.

This type of testimony can be helpful in establishing a strong case, but it can also be seen as repetitive and unnecessary. The court may limit the number of witnesses who can give cumulative testimony to avoid wasting time and confusing the jury.
