deponents
Those giving testimony
Deponents are people who give sworn testimony, typically in a legal setting outside of court.
The term comes from the verb depose, meaning to testify under oath, so a deponent is one who deposes.
In legal proceedings, deponents answer questions from attorneys during depositions, and their recorded statements may later be used as evidence at trial.
The deponents were scheduled to testify over three days.
