A quick definition of statement of fact:

A statement of fact is when someone says something that they believe is true. It can be something they saw or heard, or just something they think is true. Sometimes, people give false testimony, which means they say something that isn't true. Testimony can be given in different ways, like in writing or in person. Sometimes, pictures or other things can be used to help someone give testimony.

A more thorough explanation:

A statement of fact is a type of behavior that asserts or implies the existence or nonexistence of a fact. It can be a specific statement that a fact exists or an opinion that implies the existence of some facts that led the person to hold that opinion.

For example, if a witness testifies that they saw the defendant at the scene of the crime, that is a statement of fact. If a witness testifies that they believe the defendant is guilty based on their experience as a police officer, that is an opinion that implies the existence of certain facts.

Other types of testimony related to statement of fact include:

  • Affirmative testimony: Testimony about whether something occurred or did not occur, based on what the witness saw or heard at the time and place in question.
  • Expert testimony: Testimony given by a qualified expert in a particular field.
  • Opinion testimony: Testimony based on one's belief or idea rather than on direct knowledge of the facts at issue.

It's important to note that false testimony, or testimony that is untrue, is not the same as perjury, which requires a state-of-mind element. False testimony does not denote a crime.

Overall, a statement of fact is a type of behavior that asserts or implies the existence or nonexistence of a fact, and it can be used as evidence in legal proceedings.
