  Only by gov’t-licensed necromancers, otherwise there’s a risk of witness tampering.

  Somewhere in Tokyo there’s a manga author furiously taking notes on this as the plot line. Three months from now a new manga will hit store shelves:

  “I got killed and now I’m the key witness at my own murder trial”

    I think that’s already a video game.

        Might be ace attorney, mediums channel spirits of the deceased and I think in one of the later games those spirits are also called as witnesses for their murder.

  That goes to the weight, not the admissibility.

  Testimony comes in, jury decides if it’s credible.
