PrepTest 126 - Section 3 - Question 10

Show summary

Lawyer: Support This witness acknowledges being present at the restaurant and watching when my client, a famous television personality, was assaulted. ███ ███ ███████ ██████ ██ █████████ ███ ██████████ ███ ███ ██ ██████ ███████ ██████████ ███ █████████ █████████ ██████ ██ █████████

Summary

The lawyer concludes that the witness’s testimony should be excluded. She supports this by saying that while the witness saw the assault, he claimed to recognize the attacker but not the lawyer’s famous client.

Missing Connection

The lawyer concludes that the witness’s testimony should be excluded, but her premises don’t say anything about when witness testimonies should be excluded. To get from her premises to her conclusion, the lawyer must assume that a witness’s testimony should be excluded if the witness claims to recognize only one party involved in an assault.
