A quick definition of strongly corroborated:
Strongly corroborated: When someone says something in court, it's important to have evidence that supports what they're saying. If the evidence is strong and clear, it can help convince the judge and jury that what the person is saying is true. This is called "strongly corroborated" testimony.
A more thorough explanation:
Term: STRONGLY CORROBORATEDDefinition: When testimony is strongly corroborated, it means that it is supported by independent facts and circumstances that are powerful, satisfactory, and clear to the court and jury.
Examples: A witness testifies that they saw a suspect at the scene of a crime. This testimony is strongly corroborated if there is also video footage of the suspect at the scene, DNA evidence linking the suspect to the crime, and other witnesses who saw the suspect at the same time and place. Another example could be a victim's testimony about being assaulted, which is strongly corroborated if there are medical records showing injuries consistent with the assault, eyewitnesses who saw the victim shortly after the assault, and security footage showing the suspect in the area at the time of the assault.
Explanation: When testimony is strongly corroborated, it means that there is a lot of evidence supporting it. This evidence comes from different sources and is powerful enough to convince a court and jury that the testimony is true. In the examples given, the testimony is supported by other evidence such as video footage, DNA evidence, medical records, eyewitnesses, and security footage. This makes the testimony more believable and helps to prove the case.
