SUCCINCT, HONEST TESTIMONY
As a supervisor, it is your responsibility to periodically evaluate your employees’ testimony. While watching one of your employees testify, you observed that he precisely and succinctly answered each question put to him. However, the questions posed by the attorneys were phrased in such a way that pertinent testimony was not heard by the jury. When you pointed this out to your employee, his response was that he listened carefully to what was being asked and answered everything honestly and completely without adding information not asked for. He added that it’s not his problem if the attorneys don’t know what to ask.
