 Deposition of Witness

Deposition of Witness. A deposition is a witness’s sworn out-of-court testimony. It is

used to gather information as part of the discovery process and, in limited
circumstances, may be used at trial (https://www.law.cornell.edu).
In criminal cases, depositions are normally taken to preserve testimony from a
witness. The procedures for taking depositions in criminal cases recognize the
prosecution’s right to preserve testimonial evidence and prove its case despite the
unavailability of its witness (https://lawphil.net)
