Unlike in a normal trial, no witnesses are called forth, and no cross-examinations happen. Instead, any person in the courtroom can give a testimony whenever they see fit. As a result, there can be many witnesses at the same time. It is essential that you compare the testimonies of the people to find the contradictions. You can also check for changes to the other witnesses to see if they react to the testimonies of others.
