When you give testimony under oath, you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You cannot lie or omit anything from your story. If you do lie, you will be found in contempt of court and punished for perjury.
The attorneys from both sides will likely ask you questions to let the jury know what you know.
