/prɪˌkɒɡˈnɪʃən/ – Noun
Definition: (Scot) hỏi cung sơ bộ (các nhân chứng).
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “precognition” refers to the process of taking a witness’s statement before a trial or hearing, typically in criminal cases. This statement is usually taken by the prosecution or defense to gather evidence and prepare for the trial. It is a formal procedure where a witness provides a written or recorded account of their knowledge or observations related to the case.
Example: The defense attorney argued that the witness’s testimony was inadmissible due to the prosecutor’s use of precognition techniques during the investigation.
