Rereading of testimony is a process used to review the evidence given by a witness at a trial. It is done when a judge or counsel believes that the witness's testimony should be re-examined in order to ensure its accuracy and reliability. This process can involve either having the witness read the relevant portion of their testimony aloud or having an expert witness re-read and analyze the testimony. There are two types of Rereading of Testimony: Direct Rereading and Indirect Rereading. Direct rereading involves the witness reading back their own testimony or having an expert witness read it for them. Indirect rereading involves the witness's testimony being read by someone other than the witness, usually a court reporter or a lawyer. In either case, the purpose is to ensure that the witness's testimony is accurate and reliable.
