    I have to examine my downs sister because she lied about me to the state. I’m sick to my stomach. I just need to ask two simple questions and she won’t lie. But I want to also prove her parental alienation symptoms and they incredible emotional abuse her agency inflicted as well as her care provider. Deeeeep breaths! God be with us. I want my sister back ❤️

    In Australia, a question that asks the witness why they’re here today might be seen as self-serving and therefore not a permissible question.

    in the US it not only establishes capacity, but is allowable to set the table for the Jury. Obviously direct is pro witness (self serving).

    It’s leading if there has not yet been mention of a park, as it suggests a fact that hasn’t been raised by the witness. If the witness has already referred to a park then it can form part of a looping question.

    @@loveiseternity I don't know if that is the case, the question can be answered yes I went with them to the park, or no I didn't go with them to the park. "You went with them to the park?" is a leading question, but can be a looping question, or even a background question of immaterial or stipulated to facts.
