The witness, called by prosecutors, was Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist and the prosecutors' only mental health expert, Dietz and his testimony helped convict Yates. The conviction later was overturned. When Yates is retried, much of the attention again was on Dietz, who is back on the prosecution's witness list.

Many of Giovanni’s witnesses that were summoned were from noble families indicating elite ties. But most of those called to testify for his side were Lusanna’s neighbors and erstwhile friends form the same artisan community to which her father and her first husband had belonged (Brucker, 26). Their evidence was seen as particularly informative concerning Lusanna’s character and her motives, though the reliability of their testimonies was not taken for granted and revealed their personal bias against her. The uncertainty of lies being told, bribes being given, or stories being altered due to emotional attachment was always be taken into account. The people who testified for Lusana were people of low status and reputation, whose evidence was discredited because they were bound to her by ties of blood and friendship (Brucker, 27). Other testimonies, both from Giovanni and Lusanna, were discredited for other reasons that did not make them reliable sources. Not only did social credibility play a role in this case but gender as

Lord Coke further stated that “it

Now look at Rosina Townsend who maintained the brothel. Mrs. Townsend’s brothel was a high-end brothel, but her reputation or her word was worth mo more than a piece of dirt in the bottom of your shoe. This was demonstrated the most during the trial. Judge Ogden Edwards spent an entire hour instructing the jury. The judge instructed the jury to weigh all characters involved, victim, accused, and witnesses. He instructed that the prostitutes were not to be believed unless corroborated by respectable individuals. He went as far as to try to establish an alibi for Robinson in respect to visiting the brothel on the night of the murder. If the jury felt Robinson’s guilt was beyond doubt, then to convict him; if not acquit.

Turning to the case of Guy Paul Morin, one will see that the witness account played a great deal in the conviction of Morin. Mr. X falsely testified against Morin because he did not like Morin. The crown also used evidence from undercover officers where statements of Morin were recorded on a 60 minute tape recorder, which the officers believed to be 90 minutes. This made the case interesting because the crown used this instance for saying that Morin confessed to the crime after 60 minutes. This showed false accusation that was made both by the police officers and crown attorneys.
