Argumentative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Argumentative is an evidentiary objection raised in response to a question which prompts a witness to draw inferences from facts of the case. An argumentative objection is raised as "badgering the witness."

Often, argumentative questions do not seek to establish additional facts or check the reliability of existing facts. Instead, they are meant only to cause a witness to argue with the examiner.

An "argumentative" objection is often stated as "Objection your Honour, argumentative."

  • "How do you expect the jury to believe that?"
  • "If you were going only 55mph, how do you reconcile that with your testimony that you typically drive 5mph over the speed limit?"
