If you mean people that were there to see the crime then we'll not get

No, I only mean that for death penalty crimes.

All these systems also assume that the majority of people are righteous.

That is true - but given that the penalty for a false witness is to suffer
whatever it was he was intending for the other person, the number of those
willing to give false witness in a capital case is probably small.
