You're calling an "incompetent witness" to appear
in your case, you claim? For what purpose and why is s/he considered
incompetent from your perspective?
In a legal sense, incompetent/incompetence is quite a narrowly defined term, applicable to persons in particular situations, and one would not normally be seeking to have such a person so characterized take the stand to testify in his behalf to anything or for any reason whatsoever.
