When you indicate in your question would the testimony of one witness be enough to convict, I assume you mean the alleged victim of the menacing charge. The standard in any criminal case, is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution were able to secure the alleged victim for trial and they testified to the elements of the crime of menacing, yes the prosecution would be able to present to the ... Read More
