Read the excerpt from Monster.PETROCELLIThen he must have lied, is that right?O’BRIENObjection. The prosecution is soliciting an argument.PETROCELLIWithdrawn. Mr. Harmon, you say you weren’t at the drugstore anytime during the day of the robbery. Perhaps you would tell us where you were.
Answer
A
This is Petrocelli's first time acting as the prosecuting attorney in a court of law.
B
Mr. Harmon knows where he was during the day of the robbery.
C
It is a rule of the court that a lawyer may not argue with someone during questioning.
D
Petrocelli has not been a trial lawyer as long as O'Brien has.
Explanation
O’Brien objects because Petrocelli’s question, “Then he must have lied, is that right?” asks the witness to accept an argument rather than simply answer a question. The court rule reflected in the excerpt is that a lawyer may not argue with someone during questioning. The other choices make claims about Petrocelli, O’Brien, or Mr. Harmon that the excerpt does not establish.
