They use a (specific) placeholder phrase during earlier testimony and questioning, so a disagreement between the witnesses would come out before anybody had to say anything dire. My understanding is that the person can't be convicted if two eyewitnesses don't report hearing the exact same thing.
This final testimony with the limited group is because, to convict, they do actually have to repeat what they heard. (Well, one does and the other concurs.)
