This article seems US-centric in places, compare to jurisdiction. It's a difficult line to walk. Perhaps we need a separate article specifically about the US system? Andrewa 16:53, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
I have removed the incredibly U.S.-specific information about the oath taken when giving testimony. It was:
The oath taken by a person when taking the stand is, while there right hand is in the air and the left is on the Bible:
- Prosecutor:Do you swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God.
- Witness:I Do
I can't see a reasonable way to incorporate this in this article without again making it US-specific (more than it already is). --Saforrest 23:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Dear wikipedist: I added an extra paranormal-spiritual-psychopathological sense of considering the concept "witness". I hope it is ok for you. Iam registered as esiomajb or esiomajb1 wikipedia user. best regards, M.Jordan 134.2.102.192 (talk) 20:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
