/pərˌpɛtʃuˈeɪʃən ʌv ˈtɛstəˌmoʊni/ – Phrase
Definition: việc lưu giữ lời khai nhân chứng.
A more thorough explanation: Perpetuation of testimony refers to the legal process by which a witness’s testimony is preserved or recorded for future use in a legal proceeding, typically when the witness’s testimony may be necessary but there is a concern that the witness may not be available or able to testify at a later date. This process allows for the preservation of evidence in case the witness becomes unavailable due to various reasons such as illness, death, or relocation.
Example: The witness was accused of attempting to influence the perpetuation of testimony by pressuring other witnesses to change their statements.
