What is a common misconception about preparing witnesses for testifying?

That it is necessary for all witnesses
That preparation is only needed if they are lying
That it takes too much time and is unnecessary
That witnesses do not need to know the questions beforehand

The correct answer is: That preparation is only needed if they are lying

Preparing witnesses for testifying is often surrounded by various misconceptions, one of which is the belief that preparation is only necessary if they are lying. This idea can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature of witness testimonies and the importance of thorough preparation, regardless of the witness's honesty. In reality, every witness can benefit from preparation to provide clear, coherent, and credible testimonies. This process helps them understand the legal context of their testimony, the types of questions they may face, and how to respond effectively under pressure, ensuring that the truth they present is articulated clearly. It equips witnesses to handle cross-examination and prevents misunderstandings that could arise during their testimony. By assuming that only those who might be deceptive need preparation, one overlooks the need for all witnesses to convey their accounts accurately and confidently.
