Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Here are some possible examples. The tip to refresh your memory is important because officers are a key witness and can often make or break a case. If an officer is not prepared and has not review the notes of the case, they will not appear credible. The tip to tell the truth is extremely important because if the defense attorney shows one discrepancy from the officer's testimony, then the jury might not believe the rest of the testimony. The tip to not discuss the case outside the courtroom is important because any negative comments can slant a jury, or evidence shared in the hallway may fall into the hands of a defense attorney.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary. The example should represent direct examination questions that are open-ended with the establishment of facts, followed by cross-examination in which more closed ended questions are asked that might lend towards discrediting a witness.
