What type of testimony is used to prove most cases?

• A. Written
• B. Eyewitness
• C. Verbal
• D. Physical

Answer: (C)

Testimony in most cases is delivered verbally—spoken under oath in court or during sworn depositions. This verbal aspect is what juries and judges rely on to hear the facts, assess credibility, and determine what actually happened. While written statements or physical objects can support a case, they aren’t the sworn testimony itself. Eyewitness accounts are a kind of verbal testimony, but the broader category of verbal testimony best captures the typical way cases are proven because it covers all sworn statements made aloud by witnesses, not just those who saw the event.
