witness
>1 - Dt 17:6
On January 30, 1982, the moderately to severely decomposed body of a teenage girl, Nancy Mitchell, was discovered in Eddy County near an area known locally as Six Mile Dam. Petitioner Carl Case was convicted by a jury on October 26, 1982 of first-degree murder and first-degree criminal sexual penetration of Mitchell. The evidence in support of his conviction included the eyewitness testimony of three teenaged witnesses, Audrey Knight, Paul Dunlap, and Bobby Autry, which, while not entirely consistent, incriminated Case. Case also testified at his trial and (1) admitted he was present during the events that led to the victim’s death; (2) corroborated the presence of Knight and Dunlap at the scene, but testified that Mitchell accidentally fell. This Court affirmed his conviction in State v. Case, 100 N.M. 714, 676 P.2d 241 (1984).
BOM - The Testimony Of Three Witnesses (Martin Harris, David Whitmer & Oliver Cowdery)
BE IT KNOWN unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That we, through the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken. And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man...
BUT - Joseph Smith denounced the three as among those, "too mean to mention; and we had liked to have forgotten them."
All 3 were excommunicated and denied their Mormon testimony.
