Subchapter I—General Provisions § 3051. Degree of certainty required to establish facts The law does not require demonstration; that is, such a degree of proof as, excluding possibility of error, produces absolute certainty; because such proof is rarely possible. Moral certainty only is required, or that degree of proof which produces conviction in an unprejudiced mind. § 3052. Number of witnesses to prove fact Except as otherwise provided by law, the direct evidence of one witness who is entitled to full credit is sufficient for the proof of any fact.
