It is the truth presented in a stunning and breathtaking way. Your testimony is part of a vital archive of our lives, concerns and disputes. This book is titled, “The One Minute Witness.” It’s designed to be grasped quickly and retained easily. Regardless of the subject matter of the case or your role in it, it focuses attention on the most important aspects of being an effective witness.
