Passage Content
But is it the case that in all incidents of injury
the assailant struck him in the presence of the court,
so that they know exactly how hard he struck him
and on what part of the body he struck him,
e.g., if he struck him on his thigh or if he
struck him on the lobe of his heart?
Rather, the court relies on witnesses to testify
about the injury. Therefore, the witnesses should
be able to testify about the item used as well.
