BRIEF INSIGHT

TRUSTING A SINGLE WITNESS
 
The Gemara says that in a case of a doubt about whether a piece of meat is Chelev or Shuman, since it is not Ischazek Isura one witness is believed to say that it is permitted. Rashi says that the specific piece of meat is not Ischazek Isura. The Ritva explains that that since the specific piece of meat is not Ischazek Isura, even though there is definitely an Isur here somewhere, it is regarded as Lo Ischazek Isura and one witness is believed to say that it is permitted.

QUICK HALACHAH

TESTIMONY REGARDING ISURIM
 
A single witness is believed to permit something but not to prohibit it. For anything that does not have a Chazakah one way or the other, the single witness is believed even to prohibit it. However, a single witness is not believed to permit something which is Ischazek Isura, unless it is in his hands to remove the Isur. (Shulchan Aruch YD 127:3)
