1 COURT: Simplified Rules of Evidence To assure each side a fair trial, certain rules have been developed to govern the types of evidence that may be introduced, as well as the manner in which evidence may be presented. These rules are called the "rules of evidence." The attorneys and the judge are responsible for enforcing these rules. Before the judge can apply a rule of evidence, an attorney must ask the judge to do so. Attorneys do this by making "objections" to the evidence or procedure employed by the opposing side. When an objection is raised, the attorney who asked the question that is being challenged will usually be asked by the judge why the question was not in violation of the rules of evidence. The rules of evidence used in real trials can be very complicated. A few of the most important rules of evidence have been adapted for mock trial purposes, and these are presented below. 1. Rule 1. Leading Questions: A "leading" question is one that suggests the answer desired by the questioner, usually by stating some facts not previously discussed and then asking the witness to give a yes or no answer. Example: "So, Mr. Smith, you took Ms. Jones to a movie that night, didn't you?" Leading questions may not be asked on direct or redirect examination. Leading questions may be used on cross-examination. Objection: "Objection, Your Honor, counsel is leading the witness." Possible Response: "Your Honor, leading is permissible on cross-examination," or "I'll rephrase the question." For example, the question can be rephrased: "Mr. Smith, where did you go that night? Who did you go with?" (This would not suggest the answer the attorney desires.) Rule 2. Narration: Narration occurs when the witness provides more information than the question called for. Example: Question - "What did you do when you reached the front door of the house?" Witness - "I opened the door and walked into the kitchen. I was afraid that he was in the house -- you know, he had been acting quite strangely the day before." Witnesses' answers must respond to the questions. A narrative answer is objectionable. Objection: "Objection, Your Honor, the witness is narrating." Response: "Your Honor, the witness is telling us a complete sequence of events." Rule 3. Relevance: Questions and answers must relate to the subject matter of the case; this is called "relevance." Questions or answers that do not relate to the case are "irrelevant." Example: (In a traffic accident case) "Mrs. Smith, how many times have you been married?" Irrelevant questions or answers are objectionable. Objection: "Your Honor, this question is irrelevant to this case." Response: "Your Honor, this series of questions will show that Mrs. Smith's first husband was killed in an auto accident, and this fact has increased her mental suffering in this case." Rule 4. Hearsay: "Hearsay" is something the witness has heard someone say outside the courtroom. Also, any written statement made outside the courtroom is hearsay. Example: "Harry told me that he was going to visit Mr. Brown." Hearsay evidence is objectionable. However, there are two exceptions to the hearsay rule for purposes of the mock trial. If an exception applies, the court will allow hearsay evidence to be introduced.
2 Exception: In a mock trial, hearsay evidence is allowed when the witness is repeating a statement made directly to the witness by one of the witnesses in the case. Hearsay is also allowed if one of the witnesses is repeating a statement made by an individual who is no longer alive. Note that this exception to the hearsay rule does not extend to witness testimony about what another person heard a witness say. This is "double hearsay." Example: Mary, the plaintiff, told me that Harry, the defendant was drunk the night of the accident. Objection: "Objection, Your Honor, this is double hearsay." Response: "Your Honor, since Harry is the defendant, the witness can testify to a statement he heard Harry make." For mock trials, other exceptions to the hearsay rule are not used. Rule 5. Firsthand Knowledge: Witnesses must have directly seen, heard, or experienced whatever it is they are testifying about. Example: "I know Harry well enough to know that two beers usually make him drunk, so I'm sure he was drunk that night, too." A lack of firsthand knowledge is objectionable. Objection: "Your Honor, the witness has no firsthand knowledge of Harry's condition that night." Response: "The witness is just generally describing her usual experience with Harry." Rule 6. Opinions: Unless a witness is qualified as an expert in the appropriate field, such as medicine or ballistics, the witness may not give an opinion about matters relating to that field. Example: (Said by a witness who is not a doctor) "The doctor put my cast on wrong. That's why I have a limp now." Opinions are objectionable unless given by an expert qualified in the appropriate field. As an exception to this rule, a lay witness may give an opinion based on common experience. Objection: "Objection, Your Honor, the witness is giving an opinion." Response: "Your Honor, the witness may answer the question because ordinary persons can judge whether a cast was put on correctly." Rule 7. Opinions on the Ultimate Issue: Witnesses, including experts, cannot give opinions on the ultimate issue of the case: the guilt or innocence of the defendant or the liability of the parties. These are matters for the trier of fact to decide. Example: "I believe that Mr. Smith was negligent in driving too fast in this case." Opinions on the ultimate issue in a case are objectionable. Objection: "Your Honor, the witness is giving an an opinion on the ultimate issue -- the negligence of Mr. Smith." Response: "The witness is commenting that the driver was speeding. This is not the ultimate issue in this case."
3 RULES OF EVIDENCE Sample Questions Rule 1. Leading Questions: 1) Example: Ms./Mr. Johnson, you heard Chris whisper the words tower and flag to Milan shortly before Milan ran to the clock tower, right? Better Question: Ms.\Mr. Johnson, what events led to Milan s running to the clock tower? 2) Example: Tyler, you and Milan would sit in your room regularly and drink 40s, didn t you? Better Question: Tyler, what was your relationship with Milan? 3) Example: Did you believe Milan to be stuck up? Better Question: What were your impressions of Milan? 4) Example: Pat Smith, didn t Chris Archer threaten you when she came to visit you in hospital? Better Question: What happened when Chris Archer visited you in the hospital? 5) Example: Ms. Johnson, isn t it true that Chris Archer had the male Gammas paddle the pledges? Better Question: Ms. Johnson, what if any, pledging activities occurred on November 17th? 6) Example: Even after Milan lost all her weight and became popular she was still loyal and remained your friend, isn t that right? Better Question: Could you describe your relationship after Milan became popular? [Note: a foundation must be set for this question] 7) Example: Pat, isn t it true that Chris Archer forced you to drink a lot of alcohol, eat dirt, and clean toilets with your toothbrush during pledge week? Better Question: Pat, could you tell us a bit about your experience with pledging Gamma? 8) Example: Mr. Smith, you saw Chris Archer push Milan from the tower didn t you? Better Question: Mr. Smith, what did you see when you ran outside? 9) Example: Chris, you would never haze would you? Better Question: Chris, how do you feel about hazing?
4 Rule 2. Narration: 1) Example: Q: Ms./Mr. Smith, what types of things were you made to do as a Gamma pledge? A: Well, we had to eat dirt, drink alcohol, clean the toilets with our toothbrushes and we got paddled. When I got paddled, I had an asthma attack. I passed out and had to go to the hospital. Chris visited me in the hospital and threatened me so that I would keep quiet. Better Answer: We had to eat dirt, drink alcohol, and clean the toilets with our toothbrushes. 2) Example: Q: Pat, tell us about your relationship with Chris. A: Chris is the President of the fraternity that Milan and I decided to rush at Columbus University. He was generally pretty friendly, but I think he had it out for Milan. He would always give her looks of disapproval... [Here, the attorney needs to control the witness and have a flow of questions instead of merely permitting the witness to speak freely.] 3) Example: Q: Ms. Smith, when did you and Milan Jackson meet? A: We met in the third grade. She was a chubby new girl at school and everyone teased her for being a Plain Jane and a nerd. Like her, I was often teased by my classmates for being nerdy, so I introduced myself to her and we became instant friends. Better Answer: We met in the third grade. 4) Example: Q: What did you see when you removed your blindfold and ran after Milan on Hell Night? A: I saw Chris push Milan off the tower. She had been after Milan to sleep with Bryan when we started pledging. The night of Milan s death, I heard Chris whisper that she had a special surprise in mind for Milan. Better Answer: I saw Chris push Milan off the tower. 5) Example: Q:Ms./Mr. Smith, what is your relationship to the victim, Milan? A: I knew Milan very well. We were best friends since the third grade and I know that she was not drunk the night of her death. It was Hell Night and Chris took Milan outside... Better Answer: Milan and I had been best friends since the third grade.
5 Rule 3. Relevance: 1) Example: Q: What did you and Milan do the summer after junior high school? Better Question: [Since there is no relevant information regarding the summer after junior high, no question concerning this topic should be asked.] 2) Example: Q: Would you consider paddling a form of hazing? Better Question: Would you consider sky diving to be a form of hazing? 3) Example: Q: Dr. Richards, are you currently married? Better Question: Dr. Richards, do you have any children? [Leads to the fact that Dr. Richards son was killed in a gang.] 4) Example: Q: Pat, who was your teacher in the third grade? Better Question: Pat, when did you first meet the deceased? 5) Example: Q: Pat, how many boyfriends have you had? Better Question: Pat, you stated that you and Milan were considered nerdy. Tell me more about that. Rule 4. Hearsay: 1) Example: Q: Dean Thomas, what did the police tell you about Pat s hazing accusation? Better: Dean Thomas, what did Pat say caused her asthma attack? 2) Example: Chris Archer, what did the other new Gammas have to say about Milan? A: Many of them told me that she had a bad attitude. Better: Chris Archer, what did you think of Milan? A: I thought she was a little overconfident, and not very loyal to her friend Pat. 3) Example: Pat testifies that Milan never would have gone to the top of the clock tower because her mother told her that she might fall off. Better: Pat testifies that Milan told him that she was afraid of heights.
6 Rule 5. Firsthand Knowledge: 1) Example: (Dr. Richards): although Chris Archer has never visited this office, I believe she was intimidated by Milan. Better: Milan was afraid of heights, and probably would not jump off a ledge. 2) Example: Dr. Richards, how would you characterize Pat Smith? Better: Dr. Richards, how would you characterize Milan Jackson? 3) Example: Dean Thomas, what was Milan like when she was drinking? Better: Pat, what was Milan like when she was drinking? 4) Example: (Pat): When Milan was running towards the tower, she did not seem to be in her right mind. Better: (Pat): Dean Thomas took my complaint lightly. [Note: both of these are acceptable opinions]. 5) Example: Dr. Richards, did Milan show signs of intoxication the night of her death? Better Question: Dr. Richards, what was Milan s blood alcohol level the night of her death? [Assuming Dr. Richards would be qualified to testify to this information].
7 Rule 6. Opinions: 1) Example: Pat Smith: Milan was not legally intoxicated. Better: Milan did not appear to be drunk. She was coherent and alert. 2) Example: Ms. Archer, would you say that Milan suffered from an obsessive disorder? 3) Example: Chris Archer: Milan was a very troubled young woman with a lot of self-esteem issues and severe psychological problems. [objection: this witness is not qualified as an expert to give this opinion.] 4) Example: Pat, do you think that Milan s eating disorder caused her to be suicidal? Better: Dr. Richards, did Milan exhibit suicidal tendencies? 5) Pat says Milan s blood alcohol level was not high enough to cause loss of coordination. Better: Dr. Richards testifies that intoxication could have lessened Milan s fear of heights. 6) Ms. Archer, was Milan suffering from depression? Better: What was Milan s demeanor during the last two weeks before her death? Rule 7. Opinions on the Ultimate Issue: 1) Example: Q: Pat, what happened on the night of Milan s death? A: After several days of thinking about it, Chris Archer pushed Milan off of the clock tower. She is guilty of murder in the first degree. Better: Q: Pat, what did you see happen that night? A: I saw Chris push Milan from the tower. 2) Example: What Chris did was cold-hearted murder. Better: I saw Chris push Pat off of the tower. 3) Example: (Dr. Richards): After having conducted extensive research on gang mentality and the nature of group dynamics, I have no doubt that Chris Archer pushed Milan off the clock tower. Better: Milan had self esteem issues that would have made her likely to have done anything to get into the Gammas.
