argumentative

Read a random definition: touch

A quick definition of argumentative:

Argumentative: When someone asks a question that is not really seeking information, but is trying to challenge the truthfulness or credibility of the person answering. This type of question is not allowed in court and is often the basis of an objection. It is like asking a question that doesn't really make sense or is meant to trick the person answering. For example, asking if someone thinks they should pay their mistress' rent before paying child support.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The term "argumentative" is used to describe a question asked by an opposing attorney that challenges the truthfulness or credibility of a witness, rather than seeking information. This type of question is not allowed in court and is often the basis of an objection before it can be answered. It is similar to questions that are considered irrelevant, immaterial, or hearsay.

Example: "Do you believe you should pay your mistress' rent before catching up with delinquent child support?" or "Do you think that bloody glove just walked over there?"

These examples illustrate how an argumentative question is designed to challenge the witness's credibility or truthfulness, rather than seeking information. The first example implies that the witness is not fulfilling their financial obligations to their children, while the second example suggests that the witness is lying about the location of a piece of evidence. These types of questions are not allowed in court because they are not relevant to the case and can be seen as an attempt to manipulate the witness or the jury.
