Testimony

In the law, testimony is a form of evidence that is obtained from a witness who makes a solemn statement or declaration[?] of fact.

Unless a witness is testifying as an expert witness, testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is generally limited to those opinions or inferences which are rationally based on the perceptions of the witness and are helpful to a clear understanding of the witness' testimony.
