An inimical witness refers to a witness who is hostile or unfriendly towards a party in a legal case, typically providing testimony that is detrimental to that party's interests. The concept comes from common law and is often encountered in courts when a witness's impartiality or credibility is in question due to their relationship with one of the parties involved. Inimical witnesses can significantly impact the outcome of a case by influencing the judge or jury through their biased testimony.

The testimony is the official statement made by the witness under oath. -I heard on the 'History Channel' that testimony was given by men while holding onto one of their testicles.
