Re: Testemony
If what you mean is can a judge or jury convict on the basis of the testimony of only one eyewitness, yes, it's possible. However, each type of crime is different. Without knowing the charge you are referring to it isn't possible to provide you with a direct response.

Yes, direct evidence (an eyewitness) is always sufficient to meet the burden of proof.
