§ 870 Witness Testimony On Sanity

• •Only certain people can give their opinion on whether someone is mentally stable.
• •These people must be very close to the person in question.
• •They can also be someone who saw the person sign an important document and can talk about their mental state at that time.
• •Or they can be experts who are allowed by other laws to give their opinion.

Your best friend starts acting very strangely and people are worried about their mental health.

You can tell a judge what you think about your friend's mental state because you know them very well. But a random person who just met your friend cannot do this.
