Compound question

{
  "id": "MLC-T-LAW-005319",
  "term": "Compound question",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "A question posed to a witness that combines two or more distinct inquiries into a single sentence, making it difficult to answer with a simple yes or no. This form of questioning is objectionable because it can confuse the witness, create ambiguity in the record, and prevent a clear answer to either part of the question. An opposing counsel will object, and the judge will require the questioner to break the query into separate, simpler questions.",
