Identification testimony is a type of evidence used in a criminal trial in which a witness identifies a suspect as the perpetrator of a crime. This type of testimony is provided by an eyewitness (or a witness who was present at the scene of the crime) and is used to corroborate other evidence presented in the trial. There are two types of identification testimony: direct and circumstantial. Direct identification testimony involves the witness directly identifying the suspect in a courtroom setting or other similar environment. Circumstantial identification testimony involves the witness providing evidence which could lead to the identification of the suspect, such as describing the suspect’s physical characteristics or providing a description of the clothing they were wearing at the time of the crime.
