/leɪ ˈwɪtnəs/ – Phrase
Definition: xch ordinary witness.
A more thorough explanation: A lay witness is a person who testifies in a legal proceeding based on their personal knowledge or observations, rather than as an expert in a particular field. They provide testimony about facts or events within their own experience, rather than offering opinions or specialized knowledge.
Example: In the trial, the defense attorney called a lay witness to testify about what they saw at the scene of the accident.
