discuss a trial where the defense successfully attacked a witness’s credibility.
There are several reasons why defense attorneys attack the credibility of witnesses. For example, defense attorneys may
attempt to demonstrate the witness’s bias, or to suggest that they are lying. For this assignment, you will discuss a trial
where the defense successfully attacked a witness’s credibility. You are required to find one article related to the example
you have selected and use it in your response to support your arguments.
For instance, you might want to discuss the O.J. Simpson trial and how the defense successfully attacked Detective Mark
Fuhrman’s credibility. In the Simpson trial, the defense team played audio tapes of Detective Fuhrman repeatedly using
racist remarks. Fuhrman was indicted on one count of perjury due to his testimony. He pled no contest and was
sentenced to three years of probation.
For your report, consider including the following:
• An introduction to the case you are discussing
• A brief overview of the people involved
• A short summary of the article
• A firm example of how a witness’s credibility was attacked
Your written article critique should be a minimum of one page and no more than two pages in length and should be written
following APA style guidelines
