§ 1236 Testimony on hearing for warrant.

When someone testifies at a hearing for a warrant, their statements have to be written down. This written record must be verified and signed off in the same way it's done during preliminary examinations.

This matters because it creates an official record of what each witness said. If questions come up later about what a witness stated, or if their story changes, this written record can be used to check the facts. It also helps make sure the process stays fair and accurate, since everyone's words are documented rather than just remembered or summarized after the fact.
