Stipulated testimony is the written agreement between two parties in a legal proceeding in which they both agree to the truth of certain facts without further proof or argument. It is commonly used in criminal cases as an alternative to taking a witness stand, and is often used when the parties in a case agree that the testimony of a witness is true but not the actual witness. There are two types of stipulated testimony: stipulated facts and stipulated agreements. Stipulated facts are a written agreement between two parties in which they agree to a certain set of facts without further proof or argument. Stipulated agreements are a written agreement between two parties in which they agree to a certain set of terms and conditions without further proof or argument. Stipulated testimony can be used to simplify the legal process by avoiding lengthy court proceedings or lengthy testimonies from witnesses. Furthermore, it can be used to establish certain facts without further proof or argument, saving time and money and allowing cases to be resolved quickly.
