What is a Corroborator?

A corroborator is a person who provides additional evidence or support to confirm the truth of a statement or allegation. In legal contexts, a corroborator may be called as a witness to provide independent verification of the facts of a case. For example, if a witness testifies that they saw someone commit a crime, but there are no other witnesses or physical evidence to support their account, a corroborator might be someone who can provide additional evidence, such as a video recording or a confession from the perpetrator, to help establish the accused person's guilt.

In everyday life, people may use the term "corroborator" to refer to anyone who provides supporting evidence or testimony to confirm a claim or allegation. For example, if someone is making a statement about something that happened in the past, and they have a friend or family member who can corroborate their account, that person might be referred to as a corroborator.
