The jury will disregard the last question. There is no one who was involved in this affair until the jury makes that decision. And yes, Miss Petrocelli, you do know better.
Answer
A
Miss Petrocelli has proven something.
B
The judge respects Miss Petrocelli.
C
Miss Petrocelli is willing to use improper tactics to win her case.
D
The judge thinks that Briggs is a better lawyer than Petrocelli is.
Explanation
The judge sustains Briggs’s objection because Petrocelli’s question assumes that the people involved in the robbery have already been identified. The jury must decide whether anyone was involved, so the question is improper. By saying Petrocelli “know[s] better,” the judge suggests she is willing to use an improper tactic to strengthen her case.
