How do I write a Witness Statement?

Question: My passenger is writing a witness statement in support of my defense. Must I include the witness’ address or is it not mandatory?

Answer: There is no mandatory format for a witness statement in a TBD case. Don’t include anything you don’t want or need too. However, the statement has more credibility if the witness includes a full address and phone number. The only “mandatory” element is that the statement be sworn and signed under penalty of perjury. Witness statements lend support to your defense and can result in dismissal. I have formatted examples of witness statements for various violations on file and provide them to paid members.
