Leading questions are questions that suggest a particular answer or contain information that guides the respondent. In a courtroom setting, examples of leading questions could include:
- "Isn't it true that you were at the scene of the crime?"
- "You would agree that the defendant's actions were reckless, correct?"
- "Wouldn't you say that the victim provoked the altercation?"
- "You saw the suspect holding the weapon, didn't you?"
- "Wouldn't you agree that the defendant had a motive to commit the crime?"
