Objections

The Courts of the State of San Andreas will entertain a litany of objections, including but not limited to the below specifically enumerated objections:

Relevance A party may object on the grounds of relevance when a piece of evidence or testimony has no tendency to make any fact pertinent to the matter more or less likely to the finder of fact.
Unfair/Prejudicial A party may object to relevant evidence or testimony when the prejudice the evidence or testimony may introduce at court outweighs the probative value of the evidence.
Leading Question A party may object to elicited testimony when the question inherently leads the witness to a specific answer.
Compound Question A party may object to elicited testimony when the question asked contains two or more questions.
Argumentative A party may object to elicited testimony when the questions seek to argue with previously submitted testimony rather than elicit new or unique information.
Asked and Answered A party may object to repetitive questions which seek to elicit the same testimony as prior questions.
Vague/Ambiguous A party may object to a question which is vague, ambiguous, or confusing and will risk the witness answering in an immaterial or nonconstructive manner.
Non-Responsive A party may object to elicited testimony as non-responsive when it does not answer the question originally posed by counsel.
Speculation A party may object to either testimony which is speculatory in nature, or a question which requires the witness to speculate in their answer.
Hearsay A party may object to either a question or testimony which introduces the statement of an individual who is not present in court, asserting it for the truth of the matter of the statement.
Opinion A party may object to a question or testimony which elicits an opinion which the witness is not qualified to present before the court.
Scope A party may object that the subject matter of the question goes beyond the subject matter of direct examination, or the prior examination, of the witness.
Misstates Evidence/Misquotes Witness A party may object that the question itself misstates the evidence cites or misquotes prior testimony.
