Practice question
For a wartime treason charge, two witnesses testify to different alleged acts of aid, and neither act has a second witness. There is no confession in open court. The prosecutor says two witnesses anywhere in the case necessarily satisfy Article114. What is the strongest response?
- Any two witnesses always suffice regardless of their subjects
- The required same-overt-act proof has not been supplied by that arithmetic alone
- The accused must confess privately instead
- Treason has no special evidentiary requirement
- Proof of allegiance alone cures the defect
