My gut goes with the saying,"If more than one person say its true, it must be true".

Well, that is silly. It is quite possible to have several liars who want to get someone sent to jail. And it is well known the people will sometimes remember seeing something that did not happen. For example, universities have tested groups of people witnessing staged events. If one actor is black, the audience will often remember that he held a knife, when he did not. If two people have a mild disagreement and one is male and the other female, the witnesses might have wildly differing memories of the scene. Judges are well aware of such problems with verbal witnesses.
