3.12 Identification Testimony is a type of evidence presented in court where a witness confirms the identity of a person, object, document, or other item of evidence. It is used to prove that a person or item is who or what they are claimed to be. There are two types of 3.12 Identification Testimony: direct and circumstantial. Direct identification testimony involves a witness making a direct statement of identity, such as "that is the man who robbed me". Circumstantial identification testimony involves a witness making an inference of identity based on a set of facts, such as "the man I saw had the same height, build, and clothing as the man who robbed me".
