Forensic Science (GEK1542) of National University of Singapore is a very interesting course. Being my first Science module, it has really left me a lasting impression.
Today, the main lecturer, Adjunct Associate Professor Stella Tan, was giving a lecture on Rules of Evidence. At one point, she brought out a suitcase with a label on it reading "Witness Survival Kit".
Witnesses need to prepare themselves when they present themselves in court, in a similar way as one would be when one is going for a job interview.
In the Witness Survival Kit, there is a book (for killing time and to impress others), an umbrella (since the Subordinate Courts do not have shelter to any other buildings, a jacket (for the cold temperature), notes that you prepared, and avoid plastic bags (don't look good + can be very noisy).
Didn't know that being a witness can be so formal a thing. A witness that isn't reliable can see his/her credibility permanently lost in the eyes of the Court.
